Hi, we have a DS in year 4 and have been advised that if we are looking for a public school then we need to start now. We have had a look at available scholarships and have narrowed the big list down to 4 schools that DS wants to look at.
Any one any advice about looking at these 4 and how to get them interested in actually offering you a place?
We do have a back up plan of a local independent school but DS has always said he wants to go to Eton since a neighbours grandson went. (Long story but DS decided he wanted to go as well).
Were not prepared to take the risk of looking at just Eton so have narrowed it to the aforementioned 4 plus a local independent school and some really good local comps. We would have to apply for bursaries or go down the scholarship route.
We are just wondering if anyone has some really good advice on scholarships/bursaries and what sort of questions would be useful (obviously we have our own questions but any we might not have thought about would be handy to know). Also what their experiences were/ why they chose.
Thank you :)
