thank you !The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.0 -

Ignoring bursaries and scolarships (which are not guaranteed until they are offered), I am unaware of any independent day school charging significantly less than I quoted. (The Independent Grammar School, Durham, would be one if it had yet to actually be accredited as a school by the DfE - and I will be amazed if they are going to be able to survive with the incredibly low fees that they propose).
I don’t think you will find any if you ignore bursaries and scholarships. Having been a Governor at an Indie I know that it would not be economically viable at much less (or quite a lot more depending on the location). There are a few places like Christ’s Hospital which set fees based on the ability to pay, but they are rare.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans
