Hi MNetter's!
DS is currently at a fee paying day school in the Midlands. We have been offered Harrow Boys school and Rugby School for year 9 entry. Does anyone have experience of either of the schools please?
DS is a bit of an all rounder, good kid, not highly academic so I dont want him to feel out of place. We are also, not overly wealthy so we dont want him to feel out of place surrounded by lots of rich kids either! He's not scholorship material and we dont qualify for a bursery so we will be making quite big financial sacrifices to send him to either one of these schools. Are these sacrifices worth it and what can Harrow or Rugby bring to the table which an independent day school cant?
Now we are holding both offers, it feels very real and we are not really sure if the financial sacrifice is really worth it espeically with the increase in cost of living and inflation. Neither of the schools have released their 2023/2024 fees as yet which could increase a further 10% and for the next 5 years.
Though on the otherhand it is doable and I feel we would be mad to turn these places down too, we are stuggling to weigh up whether it really is worth it!
