We are a family of four living in a 4 bed house on a dual gas / electricity tariff. We work from home (one person 5 days a week and the other 2 days a week). Our bills are significantly lower than the original poster - around £1,400 a year. We pay a monthly DD of £117 a month through Outfox the Mark...
My children are at Shaftesbury Park with my eldest in year 6 having started in reception. It’s a lovely, small and friendly school that gets really good results, and gives excellent support for children of all abilities. We like that it has a very mixed intake of children from many different nationa...
Shaftesbury Park is running a full timetable of live learning online this lockdown. The children have zoom registration at the start of each day, and then live lessons on zoom.

There is no indication yet if other year groups will return before the autumn.
All really useful insights as we are also looking at secondary school choices. We have been to the Witgift, Emmanuel and Kings open days. Few things to add from those visits: - Emmanuel is introducing football to their main curriculum - Witgift has a French section which teaches the French national ...

We aren’t too sure what we should pay per week and also if we should include any extras such as an oyster or bus pass, gym membership or language school fees. I would be grateful for any adv...
