DD is off to our local private school. She loved it from the start and it is without a doubt the right school for her. She is in a state school and I went to a state school too so all new to us. The fees are huge to us (although the cheapest of the private schools in the area). We did not get our state choice and the one she would have gone to is not ideal to say the least in my opinion.
I am wobbling because of the finances. She got a 10% scholarship but not bursary (we must have just been over). We can manage her but I am really wobbling about the possibility of having two children there (other DD in yr 4 currently). I have budgeted and know we can do it if we save save save until yr 4 DD goes but still, it's such a lot of money.
I love the school and the pastoral care is amazing. It will help yr6 DD who has struggled so much with confidence lately. It's a perfect fit for her. Are there others who have done this and it's been okay (or even the definite right decision?)
