What price for the 11-Plus tuition?

February 10th, 2009

Answer from here:

The 11-plus tuition at around £13 per hour for our Year five son will continue for as long as we can manage it, to give him the best chance of passing. We could not afford a private education for him at £15-£20,000 per year, but we can still find enough to give him the chance to gain a grammar school place.

Parents “buy” grammar school places

January 24th, 2009

The Telegegraph writes that :

Thousands of parents are enrolling young children in fee-paying preparatory schools - where they enjoy smaller classes and more teacher attention - to maximise their chance of getting a free grammar school place at 11.

Many are prepared to pay several hundred pounds for professional coaching to ensure children pass the 11-plus - rather than spend thousands every year on senior school fees.

I really don’t see any reason why we as parents should not try to do the best for our children. A good education is recession proof.

Credit Crunch Puts Pressure on Grammar School Places

December 28th, 2008

Via Kentnews

The growing number of parents pulling their children out of private schools because of the credit crunch is set to increase pressure on the state education system in Kent.

“I think that pressure is going to increase given the current credit crunch because west Kent is where the highest proportion of parents live who send their children to private schools.”

The Local Government Association (LGA) surveyed 150 councils in England and found that 6.2 per cent had already been contacted by parents applying for state school admissions for pupils in private education.
