Prioritising private for primary or secondary school?

Resources are tight, yet as a conscientious parent you want to ensure that your child has the best possible education. Budgets maybe stretch to private school for a few years, but maybe not for the full journey from 4-18. In addition, the Government's likely VAT policy means that fee costs will almost certainly inflate by another few percentage points over the next couple of years...

For most families, prioritisation will be required. This webinar will try to address the thorny question:

Which do you choose for private school: primary or secondary?

Education experts Adam D’Souza and Vania Georgeson will discuss different pupil profiles, and how best to support children at different stages of their education. Adam and Vania have both taught and led in schools across primary and secondary phases, spanning ages 3 to 18. You will learn about the underlying economics of schools, the probable impact on fee costs in the independent sector, and how you and your partner can make a strategic decision that gives your child the best possible education.

What you will learn:

• Different pupil profiles (academics, co-curricular talents etc.) and how to nurture your son or daughter's potential most effectively at different stages
• The economics of schools, and the impact of VAT on the independent sector for parents
• Alternative options – state selective schools, vocational pathways

Who is this for:

• Families evaluating possible school choices at Reception, 7+, 11+ or 16+ transition points
• Current independent school parents weighing up future decisions in light of VAT on school fees
• Parents of children in state primary schools considering possible private or state selective options for secondary
