Hi I am sure this question has been asked many times but we are thinking of sending our daughter to private school from primary. Our reasons are small class sizes but I am so debating the state school near us as it’s outstanding and looks really good. We both work fulll time so not much time left in the week to support her through school so I am thinking that private school will be better long term as small class sizes and this private one is a really good one when it comes to education. I am also wondering if she would get lost in a class of 30 as I am hearing from other parents that the case. We can afford the private school as we only have one child but of course we would still have to make some sacrifices which is fine as we have been paying Nursery since she was 1 years old. But there is a little voice in my head that says is it worth paying all this money. I mean I went to state school and I managed to get a degree and a good job. But than in the older days i think the education was a little better than now. Very strict and good state education. So I am swaying towards private for now but is it a good reason to choose private just because of the class size? What do you all think?
