I have two thoughts:

1. I can't see that your wife would be allowed to borrow £50k with earnings of £13k or have I missed something there?

2. As someone who went to a state primary and private secondary, I would really question whether private schooling is needed for primary school. After all, all you need to learn in primary school is how to read, write and count. If your son is struggling with any or all of these, I would have thought that a tutor plus you reading/doing sums with him regularly would solve the problem. What does the tutor think?

Yeah, our daughter was slow to read and a bit slow in arithmetic, and some small-group tutoring did the trick for only about £35/45 mins (5 years ago). (She now flies through her Jacqueline Wilson books)
