Leaving Private School: Please read this

Okay simply put, I cannot afford to go to private school any more and I really want to stay for sixth form.

In hopes to make enough money, I started a dropshipping website over lockdown and made myself £50 revenue; nowhere near enough money.

I invested in the stock market; nowhere enough gains there either.

I feel like I've seriously failed myself as I have put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into my online store and I just want to cry. I sort of expected to make money from that little business venture. I honestly feel lost.

I have been at that private school for 13 years and have so many memories from there.

I do not fear going to a state school, the one I am going to is good and I am looking forward to many aspects of it.

I have no idea how you can respond to this post but I suppose I just wanted to vent.

If any of you have 30k lying around or have a way to make 15k in the next fortnight; do let me know

Hi, sorry to hear you have to move schools! I wish there was an easy or quick way to make money! Try keeping positive and hopefully your new school will be fine! Good luck with your shop as well!

Look forward and focus how you are going to get good grades.
You can make new friends, but they really wont want to hear you bleating on about private school as that will isolate you.

Hi I know how hard it can be to leave an environment that you have been in for so long. But honestly always think that 'rejection is redirection'. Being in a state school will give you a whole different perspective on life and people. You will meet more people of different backgrounds and the friends you would have never met had you stayed at private school. Also, you will be saving money as well! You can reinvent yourself and maybe get rid of any toxicity you had in your old school, perhaps from your friends or teachers. Trust the process and what life gives you - this opportunity may turn up the unexpected.

If you’ve been at the same school for 13 years it’s understandable wanting to stay but think about how much going to a new school will expose you to change and open your eyes and new friends exc..

Have you asked the school about bursaries or even flexi-payment on fees? I know some private schools are being more flexible on when fees are paid owing to the covid situation - if your family is in a position to pay at some point, just not in September, why not ask if you can make payments in smaller chunks?

You would not be the first person to make this transition- I went to a state school all my childhood, but some joined the sixth form after private education up to and including 16.

Is your school aware of this? Maybe look into it to see if they have scholarship/bursary programs if there's still time. I know a few people at my school were given bursaries at different points if they suddenly changed financial situations.
