Hi, I am looking for a boarding school for my 15 year old that is not overly priced. The ones I found are at least 9k a year. Is there any cheaper option?

HELP?

The private schools round here charge more than than for day school. I would be very worried about sending any child of mine to a boarding school that operates on such a shoestring.

I've just found this, but none of these are less than £9k

£9k a year for boarding is incredibly cheap!

Most will charge £15k plus just for the tuition side of things before you even add the boarding element.

Why do you need him to board? If he is about to go into year 10 then you need somewhere quick and as I understand it many schools teach the gcse courses over 3 rather than 2 years now too.

I don't think you're going to find a boarding school in the U.K. For less than £3k a term. And if you did, would you want to? It's not a service you want on a shoestring.

State boarding? Even then it is probably no less.
