Parents need to do their homework on fees!
Parents need to swot up on all the possible ways of meeting the costs of private education, says the Independent.
While as many as a third of all pupils get some financial help through bursaries, most parents will need to use every trick in the book to meet the costs – among them using tax breaks on ISAs, saving in advance and tapping up the grandparents.
When you go through the costs, buying an expensive house in the catchment area of a good state school seems a relatively low-cost alternative.
