The next stage of this saga has seen me and my wife investigating private education, and have found a small private primary school (annual intake of 14) whose results and efforts are going to be worth the annual expense.
We are viewing the school this Wednesday, and if it meets our expectations, then my wife will be working just to pay for private education.

Sounds like a great alternative, but the loss of an income can be hard hit. Any bursaries or grants available?

Hopefully my wife will be earning more than the schooling cost. But this school in question has a 100% success rate in all the key stages, and the exit route for all 14 children is a grammar school, of which in Dartford there is a very good one for girls which is free.
I will look, thanks, at both grants and bursaries, and also see how the school can help with the costs.

It was suggested to us (too late to use the advice though) that if you have an accountant whose work you trust, it is worth paying them to do the work on the Bursary form because it's very likely to pay back dividends with the offer. I know we wouldn't be using private education if we couldn't of got a bursary.
Best of luck with it all.
