My DS is at private school, currently in y11. The school he is at has a 6th form so it's always an option for him just to stay there although he's not keen. He has an offer from another school subject to achieving specific grades at GCSE - this is his preferred option.
The problem is that we would need to give notice at his current school in April 2026 (to avoid being charged for the fees in Sept 2026), but if he doesn't achieve the grades required for the other school, the place they have offered him will be withdrawn. We could be in a position where he has no place at either school.
Is this a usual scenario or am I missing something here?
