Summary
Prevent independent schools from having to pay VAT on fees and incurring business rates as a result of new legislation. We think the Government needs to understand that not all independent school parents are wealthy, appreciate the benefits of independent schools and do better due diligence. Independent schools have supported Ukrainian refugees, children with SEN, sharing facilities with public schools and supporting less fortunate families with bursaries. We think this policy will split children from established friend networks, familiar environments and place the burden and cost on public schools.
