Hi everyone,
Sorry if this has been gone over before but I'm trying to find out about sport scholarships to public schools and whether I would be able to afford to send my son aged 10 in September to such schools.
He is an exceptional all round sportsman, plays cricket for the county under 10's even though he is actually under 9's and he plays rugby for the district. He is a fine footballer and athlete. He is clever too, not massively so but in the top groups for everything at his primary.
I earn about 35k a year and wife works part time about 10k and I feel like I could stretch to pay £1000 - 1500 a term for a excellent education. The comprehensives where I live (Nottingham) are mostly dreadful.
The local public schools have nothing on their websites about sport scholarships but I have heard some schools do them. What kind of discounts may be offered with a scholarship and bursary? Fees at Nottm High School are £4k a term - way out of my league.
thanks for any info
