Hi I know there have been a few threads about this but as each one is different I was hoping to get some perspective on my own situation.
We live overseas but are set to return to the UK due to hubby's work. Our son is 7.5 and dyslexic. He has been in a very small international school for the last 2 years and is doing very well.I am worried that a mid year upheaval to a UK state school with 30-35 in a class will throw him somewhat. We are looking at Brighton-Eastbourne and there are some fanstastic state schools- but big classes are unavoidable- and thats even if we could get him into a school of our choice.
We could afford to send our son to a private school-there is a great one in Eastbourne we have our eyes on- but our daughter starts school fulltime in September too and we cant stretch to both.
Is it fair to send him him to a private school but not her? Will she resent us for it later? HELP!
Forgot to add we have a second daughter who is 6 months. x

One in private, one in state- would you?
