Hi,
Just to know from your experiences, what is the best way forward 11+ I mean, should I send my DS to private prep or State primary + tuition. I have asked few and they all have different views about it so I want to know from anyone's personal experience. I am in Hampshire and planning to move to Kent (probably around tunbridge W).
Thanks in advance..

Hello and welcome

.
Ours were state primary, no paid tuition and precious little from us either, so I'm sure I'm not the best person to advise you, but from what I've gleaned over the years on the forum, I think the general idea with paying for primary education is that more or less everyone then pays for outside tutoring on top. Therefore for what it's worth, I'd suggest you save your thousands and send your DC to the local state primary school.
I'm assuming that your DS is actually reckoned to be 'grammar material', according to his academic progress to date? What year is he in?
