Why am I asking?
Oldest child is now 11 and about to enter Secondary School, whilst 2nd is still a while off.
Never believed that <11 is that worthwhile for private education, but smaller classes, more competition/dedicated teaching is beneficial for 11+
I believe that those children who want to please, are competitive, want to exceed would be better placed in a private school with smaller classes
As we are all higher earners, what proportion of us sends their kids to private school?
Poll to followHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

I sent my two. Daughter was hard-working and diligent, she'd have done fine at a comp, but private got the best out of her, although there's a lot of snobbery so unless you're actually rich (rather than wealthy) expect your kid to be treated as a 2nd class citizen by the rich ones. Anyway, in her case, best decision ever.
My son was a lazy sod. Waste of time and money sending him, he just messed about, may as well have sent him to fail at the local comp.
Which goes right back to MS's words of wisdomComment
