I hope this is not contentious just wondered if others as surprised as me.

I yesterdays Daily Telegraph said that HMG pays Primary Schools GBP6k a year per pupil.
Which is per year per class ( even if you only have 30 per class , not 40 as in my day ) GBP 180k.

I assume the teacher gets about GBP 30k and there are % share of caretaker , janitor , lollypop lady , etc. Buildings a one of costs ( which may not even be included in these costs ).

Where does all the money go?

This is not an attack on Primary Schools just a question as sounds a lot to me. I accept I am not an expert on education and may be missing some major costs.
