I am really stressing about this decision. He's in year5 at the moment and live in grammar school country. He's very bright (high GCA)
and dyslexic. Also behaviour is an issue for him, AS traits.
Reasons for a private school:
He wants to go
It is small, about 300 children
They support dyslexic children so would have a good chance of passing entrance exam
Entrance exams to local fee free grammars don't make allowances for dyslexia so may not pass.
Reasons against:
Cost!!! Will be skinted if he goes and but can just about stretch to it. Won't be able to afford to send his younger brother (he's doing really well though and has good chance of passing 11 plus.)
Worries about what would happen if we lost our jobs or became ill.
