There's a difference between private and public school, any kid can go private (funds permitting), they have to earn a place for public school.
At least thats how I understand it... but what would a compo educated oik like me know?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Booking a place depends, in Denmark it is a year for a 'proper' boarding school (Although in Denmark there are a variety of 'boarding' schools ages 14-16 many of which you can turn up with your bags on the first day of term, but I'm referring to an English style boarding school.)
The school I went to in England preferred you booked them in previous to 5 years old. But lower tier ones I think it's pretty much the same: turn up on first day of term with bags.
Switzerland only say a long time if they don't want the little darling.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Currently calculate it will cost me circa £180k to put 3 x offspring through the nearest private for 5 years each.
We may not bother and instead use that cash to support them through university / early career instead. And I want to retire at 55.Comment
