DH and I could afford to send our children to this independent school:

But only to age 11, it would then be onto our local comprehensive.
DH thinks we should send our children to local primary school, and then onto the local comprehensive:
www.maelorschool.org.uk/
I am very happy to send our children to local primary, but I know we could afford the fees at The White House, just, and I think it would provide our children with a better foundation to their education.
DH thinks it unfair to start children in private schools, and to then change to secondary at 11. We cannot afford any of the local independents from 11 onwards.
He also thinks if the child is intelligent and driven, then they do well at any school.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts, along with any advice to influencing DH, as he is quite set against it.
