He's a boy though and we know that our 50% of the planet have an easier time at just about everything. (sorry)

School fees in the UK are ridiculous, but international day schools here (in Shanghai) are around £40k a year.
Could be worse, could be Rosey, which surely must be over £100k per year by now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_Le_Rosey

I had friends who taught in the international schools around the world... their overall opinion was that paying for the school was not going to guarantee any success for the kid no matter where the school was. It could probably guarantee better connections when they were older and a better standard of English (assuming non-native English speaking parents) and probably smooth out the experience for those families that move country every couple of years.

I went to Grammar school in NI (Regent House), for the full 14 years (preparatory instead of primary). If it's any consolation, I was miserable for all 14 of them.

Totally anecdotally, I went to state school and my little brother went to private. He did much more/better sports than me, wasn't bullied, is happy and well adjusted, lives a great life, earns lots of money etc. Whereas I do not. Maybe school choice is nothing to do with it but I think being really unhappy for 7 years wasn't amazingly good for me.
