A DOVER COLLEGE MUM EXPLAINS WHY SHE CHOSE TO PAY FOR HER CHILDREN’S EDUCATION
I hear you say “why on earth would you pay for schooling when you can send your children to a local primary or secondary for free?”
Well, in my case it initially all hinged on the lack of progress one of my daughters was making and I haven’t looked back since. By Christmas, some of our relatives were commenting on how confident my youngest had suddenly become. It made me think… had she already changed so much? She certainly had and her new found confidence was not arrogance but the ability to believe that she could achieve and succeed. Doing Drama, French and Music from a young age and a lot of sport certainly seems to help the children become all rounded children. At Dover College, the teachers place an emphasis on discipline, kindness and self-respect and that permeates through-out the school. There is a good community of parents with a number of events organised to which all are welcome to attend. The most notorious one has to be the camp over… have a look on the website: http://www.dovercollege.org.uk/ I really recommend that you come and visit Dover College, be it the Infant and Junior or the Senior School. Their next Open Morning is Saturday 13th November but you are more than welcome to arrange a visit for a more convenient time. They will also hold 11+ Scholarship Trials into the Senior School on Saturday 20th November.
