Panto cost 'blackmail'
A SWANSEA Valley school has been accused of emotional blackmail after shocking some parents with the price of admission to its Christmas concert.

The school is inviting anyone struggling to afford the cost to get in touch.

“Parents have not been told this and the money does not go back into activities As we always pay for trips and other things. You cannot separate parents in accordance to those who can afford it to those who cant. I can say that although the school declines to comment, the school secretary has suggest that parents can look forward to just a carol service next year. It is unfortunate that the school has been placed in this limelight as the teachers and children always give an outstanding performance every year. Parents have been told they are limited to only three tickets when there is four performances, therefor my children will not be allowed any family members there for two of the performances. It is an outrage they they are subjected to four performances and even more of an outrage that they will not see any family members in the audience. I hope lessons can be leant from this, but unfortunately this will not stop the upset this year.”
