DD is in Y9 but looking ahead I am thinking of offering to pay for her to go to an independent 6th form. She is really bright and her state school finishes at 16. The options at that point are limited but there is an independent 6th form not too far away with outstanding results at A level, as all her friends will be going separate ways I am pretty sure she would be keen but haven't discussed with her yet as don't want her to get over excited before we have costed it out!
We have not considered private education before because we couldn't really afford it and our local state secondary is very good, but I am interested to hear from anyone who has sent their DC to independent school 6th form after a state secondary experience.
Is it something you would recommend? What made you do it? Obviously it's also all dependent on her getting a place I realise!
