As parents, the pressure to send your child to the “right” school can be quite intense. Education is such a crucial part of everyone’s life. The type of education your child receives will play a big role in his or her development and can deeply influence the path he or she chooses to take. We figured it would be useful for you to have an idea of the different types of UK schools and lay out some of the pros and cons of private and state schools and suggest ideas on what to do if you can’t afford a private school but feel like your child isn’t being stimulated enough in his or her current education.
