Parents Spend £250-£600 on School Proms Amidst Cost Concerns

Research indicates that parents typically spend between £250 and £500 on school proms, with one case noting £600 spent on an event. A survey revealed that one in four parents feel pressured by these costs, especially amidst rising living expenses.
