About this event

With Open Day season in full swing, and Labour’s private school VAT policy hanging like a Sword of Damocles over already squeezed families, this controversial webinar will debate a tricky question:

Is private school really worth it?

Education experts Adam D’Souza and Mel Ingle will guide parents through the independent and state secondary schools landscape in SW London, and share tips on how to cut through schools’ marketing hype at Open Days. You will learn how to use data from schools evaluate the value-add of a potential choice for your son or daughter.

What you will learn:

  • The secondary/senior schools landscape in SW London and Surrey
  • Alternative options – grammar schools, weekly boarding, global schools
  • Tips for navigating Open Day season
  • Academic value-add: how to use this data to benchmark and evaluate potential schools for your child

Who is this for:

  • Families with children approaching 11+, 13+ or 16+ transition points, who are shortlisting schools — either state or private
  • Parents of current independent school pupils weighing up future decisions in light of VAT on school fees
