Hi - our eldest is just about to start Y5 and considering secondary options in SW London. He's (top) middle of the road so I think, private wise, we'd be looking at the Ibstock/Emanuel tier. We also have the (faint) possibility of getting a place at one of the RC boys' schools (oratory/cardinal vaughan). Fees would be a big stretch but just about doable - we'd be happy to scrimp if we were sure that the private schools are actually offering more than just a glossy prospectus (no previous experience of private sector)... But my question is do they, or are we better saving the money for later?
Any thoughts from people with children at any of these schools as to whether, given their time again, they'd still go for the private or state option that they chose? And also, any thoughts generally on any of the schools named here (or similar). Thanks
