Just doing a bit of procrastinating investigating. I have always assumed private school fees were beyond us.
I have had a look at St Dunstan's website, and there are no figures for academic scholarships.
Everywhere else I look, it seems to be 10-20 % of fees. I had a look at another local indie, Sydenham High, and they are also shy about figures.
They state that art/music/drama scholarships are 'usually worth around 10% of fees'. However, when it comes to information on the academic scholarship 'the value of scholarships vary, but most scholarships are small and are more about the honour of the award than the amount'.
What's going on here? Could the playground rumour of a 90% reduction for a maths-whiz be true? (Disclaimer: am not assuming DC2 will be eligible for any scholarship, I am just curious.)
