Giving up Indie school for State School
Above is my post from a Thread on the Hertfordshire Forum.Meguest wrote:Yes, we will be giving up NLCS as we have just had a verbal offer from HBS - by being on their waiting list.
We will wait to receive the letter from HBS before we contact NLCS.
The deposit lost will be £2k (we will see if they will negotiate) but it will still be a massive saving in the long run over the 7 years.
I suppose a few others could well be doing the same if their first choice state school comes through and offers from the waiting list.
Is anyone else on this Indie Forum in a similar position, where their first choice Selective State School has now been offered during the waiting list movements ?

From the responses, I guess there aren't many people in the same, or a simliar position....
It looks like there are not many people in this similar position, ie where they are considering giving up an Indie (and losing the deposit ) because a Grammar has now been offered from the waiting list re allocations....
The deadline before a full term's fee becomes payable is early next week (ie the end of term), so maybe there is someone out there who is in this dilemma too ?

DS is now in indie school. We are waiting for an appeal for a place in a GS (year 7). Obviously, I have not given notice to the indie school because not sure of the appeal outcome. By the time we know, surely will be too late to give a term notice!
Not sure whether the school will insist of charging us for the first term fees for Y7???

I know someone this year who has opted for latymer and given up Latymer.Meguest wrote:It looks like there are not many people in this similar position, ie where they are considering giving up an Indie (and losing the deposit ) because a Grammar has now been offered from the waiting list re allocations....
