I have a dilemma.
After 20 years of teaching in state secondary schools, I've jumped ship and start at an independent school in Sept. It's a lovely school, great results - although I did think after the interview that I'm not sure I would pay £12k per year for it.
Anyway, part of the package is half price fees for your children. £6k per year would still be a stretch but would be manageable. Ds is an only child, so we would only have to pay for one child to go through the system. Local state schools are decent - although not amazing.
Anyway, I'm now weighing up the prospect of 7 years of 6k per year. The alternative is £42k towards uni or £42k of amazing family hols.
He's not due to start secondary school for another year so I've got time to mull it over.
Would you?
