When it comes to choosing a school for your child you will need to decide if they will go to a public school or private. Often people believe that private schools are better in terms of the education the child receives but this is not always the case. Private school teachers do not have to have the same qualifications as teachers in a public school.

If you are thinking of going private, then you should consider the costs as research shows the cost of putting a child through a 14 year private education in the UK stands at approximately £286,000, which is more than many people’s houses. Some parents do not like the idea of their child going to a private school let alone a boarding school as they feel they may miss out on a huge part of their child’s life.

It has to be a personal choice and for some parents and children it works well.
