Hi,
I am after some help/opinions/feedback please.
My daughter got a place at Tring Park on the Performance Foundation Course to start in Y8 -Sept 2024. Unfortunately, the stretch would be massive for us if we were to accept the place and pay those fees! She is obviously devastated. It doesn't help she has a horrible time at her current school and says she feels very lonely.
Is this school worth the massive stretch on us? Today is the last day I can accept the place and I do not know what to do.
Thank you in advance

Ah that’s rough, the fees are very high. We couldn’t have afforded it without the scholarship and bursary, particularly for a boarding space.
However, we felt the fees reflected that essentially DD was getting a double education. 5 hours focussed academic study each day and nearly 5 hours vocational training each day.
Perhaps it’s something you could look at again for sixth form, so your DD appreciates it isn’t necessarily no forever.
Our DD was a little older of course but from the outset she was aware that it would only be possible if she was awarded a scholarship.
