After years of aggro re: schools, we have the luxury of this choice.
DC in second year of a very, very good state secondary, one of those ones people say 'wow' when you tell them where, as it's so sought after, and very happy there, doing well in everything, prefect etc.
They have also been offered a place at one of the best boarding schools in the country with a bursary. But it would be a real financial struggle. We also have another child who we would have to do the same for.
One friend says to me never move a happy child. DC is so happy where they are. And we would have to seriously cut back financially, even with a bursary, to afford the boarding school. I mean, we would have a real problem I think.
But DC is quite shy and I wonder if this school might help them become more confident and give them that private school polish that you just do get at an establishment like this one. I don't mean that in a snobby way, more in a being confident helps you achieve more in life way.
I think I know the answer. I think we leave DC where they are and count our blessings. But I wanted to put it out there to see if anyone else had been in the same boat, or if anyone had any words of wisdom.
Sorry to be vague but don't want to out myself to a couple of people who are on here.
Thank you
