Poll? State or fee-paying schooling for your primary children?

[ArsumLardis]

State for us.
I don't want to start a debate (other threads for that!), just wondering where the percentage lies. tia

Fence sitting at the moment. Currently don't think any school will be good enough for ds .

Am lucky the Ofsted reports are excellent and it is across the road! Wouldnt pay for private (although I was privately educated) as it is so convenient and we cant afford it! LOL

(and really, this many people would choose private at primary ?)

State for primary. Private for secondary. Always supposing you've managed to save up enough money by then.

Collision - DD was bullied by a teacher at her state primary so we removed her and she got a fantastically large music scholarship to a fee paying school. Turns out she is more intelligent and musical than previous school had given her credit for! Unfortunately DS isn't showing the same ability so probably wouldn't get into the same school so local primary it is (we have moved house since DD's bullying so local primary is different) however new local primary didn't have a place for DD when we tried to get her in (class size huuuuuge!)

(I was waiting for someone to ask lol)

State; but not the nearest state one, so my smugness at DD1's lovely little school is deeply compromised.

[PutAPeachyInYourSimnelCake]

State, but it's endowed by an ancient (ish) will so they get more than stat input and it shows

[Prufrock]

State, but moved to rural village to find decent state schools.

[chocolateshoes]

State 100%

Fee paying as dd didn't settle into the Spanish system.
