Any tips on funding private school education?

[FuntoLearn]

We can afford three years. Argh!!!
How did you do it?

"We are in a grammar school area and that is what a lot of people do. However once they start in private education they tend to continue. Only about 5-10% of ds's school leavers go on to state school. I reckon at the start of school the intention is more likely 50-60%."

Could this possibly be because they didn't pass? It's not a foregone conclusion, you know!

Seeker, don't take the thread down that path .....

We have five children in private education and we fund it by working hard and not having a lot of other expenditure.

Remortgaging and financial advisor. Our first bill will arrive this September

seeker no, they would have to sit the 11+ to have a chance of passing!

Chub you only have to pay fees at the beginning of each term, not the whole fees for the year so you can just save each month starting in the summer.
