Nothing beats a child getting ready for school, being in a school all day and mixing with their peers at break time. However, for those parents who do not want their children in an undersubscribed state school and who can not afford to pay the extra 20 percent, all avenues will have to be explored, even the dreaded option of homeschooling. I am sure the Guardian will do an article about it in their Education section. I did not make the rule, this current government did and like Thatcher, they're not for turning.

The students it will impact the most will be the students coming from the private schools to the state schools. I think the majority of parents who are earning closer to average salaries will explore an array of options, such as taking out loans via remortgaging their homes, renting, forgoing summer holidays etc. Remember there are also online/virtual schools in the UK which offer full time curriculums from ages 4-19 with virtual 'live 'classes and they are taking off. Even with the 20 percent increase in fees and the perhaps the additional cost of paying for someone to mind the child whilst they are learning at home, they will probably still be cheaper than an in-person private school in London. I reckon some parents may already be exploring these options rather than placing their children into an undersubscribed local state school.

One thing for sure, if the students who are currently in private schools have to move to State schools because their parents can't afford the 20 per cent increase, and those children can't get into the top state schools, then the let's say, average state school will see a massive increase in their GCSE Maths and English attainments and EBacc performance tables. Also, private schools have the option of preparing students for iGCSEs which State schools can't, and some believe that iGCEs in some subjects are easier or harder or about the same. Those students changing over between Years 10-13 will be impacted the most. So I'm assuming parents will ensure, by possibly taking out a loan etc that their children get through their GCSEs and A levels, and those doing GCSEs, can easily get into a top State sixth form if they obtain the right grades. With what's being done to the pensioners earning over £13k, I don't think there will be a lot of sympathy on this issue.

Hi Betty I can't recommend any particular school but I would suggest you consider Googling UK full time secondary schools online as there is quite an option now. Your son will be in a virtual classroom with other students and will be assigned mentor etc. You could also ensure he has an array of extracurricular activities related to his interests so that he can interact with other students his age in a live setting such as football or art etc. I hope you find the right solution for your son. But I agree, if you were to do separate tutors 1-2-1 for various subjects, he may feel isolated, which you do not want. Do you research and I hope you get the best outcomes for your son. Miss B

You could broaden it to Yoga for Depression, Yoga for Pain Relief and Yoga for the Menopause because the first two are related to the last. If you state your specialism is the Menopause, you will be restricting your clientele. If you have all three in your profile, you will attract more clients i.e. younger ones, males and females etc. The exercises for all these three specialisms will be related and although it will be a lot more work in the long run doing all the research, by doing it this way, you will probably have increased your potential clientele by around 400 percent.
