I would appreciate some MN advice, please - I will try not to drip feed. My husband and I have 2 DC's - DS is in Y8, DD is Y7. They both attend the same secondary school (OFSTED outstanding) which involved a fair amount of upheaval to get them into as it wasn't our catchment school. DS is getting on OK at school, usual big class sizes, and we do have to keep an eye on his work to ensure he makes good progress. He has a good moral compass for his age and is making some lovely friendships. DD is in second term and still finding her way - she is a quirky, bright girl always reading. There is some minor bullying happening to DD and we are dealing with this.
I wanted her to go to one of the fee paying schools in the area and she was fortunate enough to be awarded a very generous scholarship/bursary package for Y7 entry which no one in their right mind would have turned down - we did. Husband said we couldn't afford it, I felt we could with sacrifices made (as a great many parents of children at fee payers do) but we are where we are now.
We have one last chance at a Y9 scholarship/bursary application for DD next year but things are so strained between H and I that he refuses even to discuss her being put forward for it. I consider education to be of paramount importance, he obviously doesn't. It is making me hugely resentful and I don't know how to get him to see sense.
Advice please, TIA.
