Where and how can I get help to pay private school fees for my son in Uk. I know he will benefit from a boarding enviroment, but I am a single mom on benefit. He has ADHD & learning problems unspecified not very serious though Help pls.

• Answer:

  You can also talk to your local social services, who sometimes have places in boarding schools where children such as yours can benefit from the more structured environment. Also, many private schools do have scholarships that you can enquire about. You have my sympathy for what it's worth, as some years ago, my own son had ADHD and I eventually managed to get a placement in such a school but it was a struggle and I feel for you.
