We are not well off, we are not breadline, but that awkward limbo in the middle. We live rurally. Schools are appalling, particularly our catchment (it wasn't when we moved here)
Moving isn't an option.
There are two private schools, approx 15k a year here. But, I would have to work full time and I have other dc who need ferrying about, picking up etc. Little to no support.
We would then have to send one other child at the same time as eldest child so two in private at the same time.
Has anyone on here managed to send their children to a private school when not financially comfortable? Any tips?
Hh income is about 65k so not great. No expensive holidays for us.
I feel like I've failed them with no options but terrible schools and want to look at every possible option.
