How much does it cost?
It will cost €5 per student for 1-5 students, €2 per student for 6-40 students and it is then capped at €80 for a whole school of 41 and above students.  So if you have only 24 students writing then it will cost €48.  But if there are between 41 -10000 students taking part then it will only cost the school €80.
