Is there such a thing as a 100% bursary/scholarship?

We're looking into school options for 3yo DD1. Pretty sure it's down to the two local state schools, for myriad reasons, but DH has suggested we at least consider some local private schools. This is a world I have never had any connection to, so I know nothing about it, but I assumed it was out of the question. DH thinks that we could apply for her to get her fees paid.

I have no idea what kind of ability she is- can you even tell at this age? People have said she is well spoken, but I doubt that actually means anything in the long run. We are pretty much as poor as we could be and both be in work.

It is pointless even looking, isn't it?

The OP was asking about Oxbridge entry. I was telling her that we aren't interested in sporting prowess.

I don't see what's anti-independent about that, and I wasn't speaking about my own children's goals, so why assume you know about them?

FWIW, I'm as nearly indifferent to school sectors as I can be.

Err where in the OP does she mention Oxbridge entry?

Our local inde does give bursaries for academic pupils, at secondary age, not sure why anyone would bother, as the GCSE results were the exact same % wise as the state school, only the state school have 4 x more to teach.
