Agree - why not go state if you don't want to spend money? I'd want to know why a school was cheap and feel very dubious

Is there such a thing as a cheap boarding school? If so I would worry!

I was about to post that state boarding schools exist, but I don't know much about them.

CATS is one of the boarding schools in London and isn't cheap but are they supposed to be? The offer excellent teaching and you get what you pay for, right? On the other hand, they do award scholarships so people who are smart and work hard but can't afford it still have a chance to go there.

I went to a state boarding school in Hertfordshire. It is a very good school but cheap(ish) because you only pay for the boarding not the teaching as well.

The cost varies massively - and generally speaking, girls' schools cost less than boys' schools, for the same type of thing. London day schools can cost anything from £2,000 a term to nearly £8,000 a term. Westminster School, for example, is about £7,200 a term for day pupils, and £10,500 a term for boarding.

By the way, most of the areas you're after are in Greater Manchester, is Bradford an anomaly?

I assumed OP meant Bradford as in district of Manchester, next to Miles Platting and Bewick if I recall.
