Trying to work out costs for private school as there are admissions issues with our local state schools so may not be able to attend a state school in our area.
Can you please advise me on the following as I would like to get a realistic idea of costs?
School fees at our local independents are aprox £6000 per year per child and there is a 5% discount for the 2nd child so I make that around £11 700 per year (I have 2 children to attend)
this includes before school club at some schools, not others - what is the rough cost of before school club (I work 3 days per week)
What is the cost of after school club roughly?
lunch is included in infants not juniors, then it is £3 per day per child so thats £30 per week
school holiday clubs x number of weeks school hols (minus 5 weeks hols I get) x 2 children for 3 days per week - any idea?
uniform? - any idea roughly?
any other costs? -extra curricular activites? books?
I was estimating total annual cost of around £18k for reception class- is that realistic?
can anyone advise please - have looked at all the local websites for local private schools but none of them give a comprehensive fees/cost breakdown
thanks for your help!
