My son has a place at a an independent school for year 7 which we confirmed. He is hard working and likes art and enjoy extra curricular activities and sports which this school can offer; He would like to go to this school. We can afford the fees but can always find some other ways to use the money, e.g. Retirement, investment, holidays.
However, he has just been offered a place at a new state school; it is in its second year; still in temp building but moving to new building next year. Sports and outdoor facilities won't be ready until 2021. Main building wil be ready though. People in the school seem very happy apart from the fact that there is not much in terms of sports at the moment.
He is coming from a state school.
I really don't know what to do anymore. I think he would have more opportunities in the independent school but because both husband and I are state educated and have worked hard to get to were we are I am a bit conflicted about it.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
