    Not 20K but around 15K before you add on trips etc.

      Marborough College fees are £26K per annum per child.

      Money well spent or should the Prawnlets stick to the local Comprehensive where they are learning knife skills and basic car theft?

      Princess Eugenie goes there.

                There's an interesting article in this week's Economist on your return on investment in private education.

                I'd never send mine to a single sex school, that's for sure.

                    The rental alternative for a 3 bed house in SW london is not as enticing as you seem to think and somewhere between £1000 - £2500 dependent on area anyway.
