Re: Help! Dolphin or Finton House??

Hello! I finally got a place at Dolphin for my little boy last year. He was previously at a school where he was horribly bullied so I was nervous again about a fresh start. Dolphin has brought him right out of himself, he is eager to learn. eager to go to school and has lots of friends. He adores his teacher and loves that the class sizes are small giving each child more attention. He thinks it's fantastic the common is the playground and all the muddy trainers lined up under the fleeces on the pegs were one of the things that I instantly like about the school. The parents are all really friendly and you get a letter home each thursday telling you about sports events and interesting things the Head wants to communicate about school life. Granted it is a bit of a shag making packed lunch, but they see what other people have got and make requests for it from the supermarket, so you can bring in a bit of variety! This is just my opinion, but we couldn't be happier with Dolphin.

Hi,
I'm in the same boat as the original poster about 'pulling out all the stops' to pay fees. I'm thinking serioulsy about Dolphin too, but we would be sacrificing holidays etc to send our little girl to private school.
Is there a mix of backgrounds, ie if we didn't have expensive holidays, clothes etc would she feel left out?
I'm guessing that there must be lots of parents like us, good jobs but not earning mega bucks who can't get into a good state school round here?
