We have 1 DC. Our local primary school is rated "inadequate" across the board in its most recent OFSTED report. We are therefore considering private, but I'm not sure we can actually afford it.
Monthly income after tax, car, bills and mortgage (but not food, clothes, extras) is £3,000.
School costs £8,175 a year up to and including Y3. Then £14,850 a year up to and including Y9.
Private secondary schools in our area are approx £25,000 a year.
I'm guessing that there are also a lot of extras, but have no idea how much these would be. I would be very grateful for the thoughts/ experience of other people who have managed this on a similar income. Also whether they think it has been worth the sacrifices.
