I have considered private school for my 6-year-old twins but I just can't manage the fees for two.
A teacher friend suggested I ask the schools about scholarships, so I telephoned three prep schools today with that question. All mentioned bursuries and "great flexibility", but immediately offered me a meeting with the headmaster to discuss.
I have heard on the grapevine over the past few days that some local parents who have lost their jobs have been forced to withdraw their children from these schools.
Under the circumstances, would it be too cheeky to ask whether they would accept both my boys for the price of one?
Advice appreciated
