    ...You will struggle to justify the school fees even if they are halved due to the bursaries.

    Actually - most private schools include before and after school care, dinners and some extra-curricular activities in the school fees 'package' but any parent who uses the state school system pays a lot of money separately for all these things and all these things are legitimate domestic expenditure. OP - Do a comparison in costs between what you pay in school fees and what the costs would be in the state system.

    Also - although I think it was an English court case - there is a precedent somewhere that the parent won the case against the OR in that forcing the child to change schools was unreasonable and meant the child (rather than the BR) was penalised. The parent was allowed to include school fees in the SOA.
