MORE and more local families are relying on independent schools for the education of


their children. Clearly this often involves a


measure of financial sacrifice — but the results make i t one which families feel is very much worth making. The results speak for themselves. By no means does a move


into the private education sec­ tor mean "breaking the bank"


entirely. As the busy property market


shows, money has never been as easy or cheap to borrow and never before have there been as many ways of achieving once vmdreamt of family goals. Private education is one of


them, and on any view is a sound investment in the fami­


ly’s future. Experts such as independent


financial advisers can often sug­ gest ways that a relatively small amount of money can be made to work hard, especially if favourable tax regulations can


be used. If a particular child is clever


enough to qualify for one of the scholarships offered by many schools, so much the better. Small classes, individual


attention, early identification of weaknesses and playing into strengths, plus high expecta­ tions in an environment geared up to give a child confidence to meet them - these, and more, are the clear benefits of inde­ pendent education; and schools are keen to demonstrate their own formula and philosophy for providing them.


The area is seeing a constant


increase in independent school places and in the numbers of children coming forward to take them up. In the very nature of things,


parent power influences inde­ pendent schools quickly and decisively - whether i t ’s a demand for better facilities or fund- raising to pay for them. State sector governors and


heads often know only too well where improvements are need­ ed, bu t can be powerless to make them for cash or policy reasons. In the private sector, however, people can and often do decide their own policies and then set about raising extra money to fulfil them. Academic results are totally


fundamental and the basis on which most pupils' lives will revolve. The private sector is keen to emphasise its consistent record in coaching pupils above their predicted grades. But all work and no play


make Jack and Jill dull. And when they are looking round a school, they and their parents want to see excellent sports, computer, hobby and indeed dining facilities as well, plus the


staff to run them. Independent education is, of


course, frequently chosen by the rich and famous. But a quick glance around the local area makes it ob-vious that it is also chosen on a large scale by local parents. Ask around, chat to schools -


there is no obligation - and look hard at your situation, helped by proper financial information.
