You should read through the government education programme, the link is a sticky at the top of this heading.

In public schools they will ask for a contribution occasionally, usually once a year. Then of course you will have the cost of uniforms, but usually the school has a clothing pool, where outgrown, but still good uniforms are sold very cheaply.
