Hi all. My daughter is is a local state primary school, year 6, so we went through the all secondary school application process. I tried two independent schools as well as the state options (SCHS and Jags) hoping she could get a substantial scholarship (I was hoping 25%). We are on the threshold income wise and do not qualify for a bursary; we could potentially cut corners to get her into an independent school but would certainly not be able to do it for my son in two years time. Didn’t go as plannned of course as her Art scholarship at jags was only £1k off annual fees and her academic scholarship at SCHS was only 5%. I am now thinking at ways forward and was asking myself how realistic it is to try again for the 6th form in a couple of years time. I noticed that it’s very difficult to get to most good Sixth forms in state schools and wondered if it’s the same in private ones. What do you think? Thanks a lot for any comments/opinions
