It's a small independent primary school founded 80 years ago and still located in the original founder's house (and out buildings). It's a non-profit so all fees go to the upkeep of the school. Classes are about 15 students. Those fees don't include any trips or uniforms I don't think, and it's about a mile from the house we're buying so it's definitely day :-)
The main thing that's attractive about it is the focus on the "person development" side of the child's education (in addition to excellent academics). Last time I went to my oldest daughter's parents evening the whole content was: "Well, she's at so-and-so percentile for this subject and such-and-such metric this and that". Nothing at all about how she is as a person, or anything beyond the metrics that Ofstead judges schools on. She's 7!

- boothead 11y agoIt isn't all that - I didn't mention that I feel pretty scared about the prospect of hanging that noose around my neck for ~ 25 years. Once I'm on the hook for this much money I'm pretty much tied in to a certain type of job for a certain type of (big) company in a small geographic area that mostly necessitates a long commute. I haven't yet convinced my self that I'm making the right choice vs the frugal/simple life with more freedom. Time will tell I guess.
