Imagine talking about Britain being a “destination for the world’s brightest” whilst actively driving them away from our world class independent schools with VAT on private school fees. Many of the world’s brightest are now choosing schools and universities in other countries.

“The Court of Appeal has granted permission for a coalition of Christian schools, parents & pupils to challenge the UK Gov’s controversial decision to impose VAT on private school fees, a policy that has already led to closures and widespread disruption.” https://t.co/A2K0zQHnZR

Given @SuperKindOrg’s mission to promote inclusion, empathy, and social impact among young people, their two-tier pricing policy for the School's Award feels deeply ironic. You can’t teach kindness while practising division. Sadly, this mindset has been normalised by

Labour knew their school fee VAT raid would hit parents and harm children’s education — so they lied about the reality and went ahead anyway. Many schools are charities with no profits to cut, also hit by NI, NMW and rates hikes they can not “cut their cloth” — this tax just

“[The Government] predicted that 3,000 pupils would move in the first year after VAT [on private school fees], and we’ve now found it’s more like 25,000 – and that suggests it’s not actually going to raise funds as promised.” https://t.co/M19jDGL4XP

Thank you @KemiBadenoch for standing up for parents and pupils... she says today that she will “scrap Labour’s vindictive tax on education.” Good! Labour call it “removing a tax break.” Nonsense — there’s no “break” in paying twice for your child’s education: once through taxes,

"We will never tax education to make our state schools worse off.” – @LauraTrott Spot on. Labour’s VAT on school fees is punishing parents, children and jobs. Reverse this damaging policy now. Thank you @LauraTrottMP for standing up for choice 👏👏 #NoVATonEducation

Only 5 days left until the petition closes on 9th October. Will you help us to protect the rights of children with special educational needs and disabilities? It would be amazing if we could get over 130,000 signatures. #SaveOurChildrensRights https://t.co/M7Wj0AkQh4

“VAT on school fees has led to a rise in overseas interest and even relocations” Who can blame them! We used to be the envy of the world for our brilliant schools! 🤷‍♀️ ⁦@NeilDotObrien⁩ ⁦@vickygrayson_⁩ ⁦⁦

@bphillipsonMP talks down to private schools. Dismisses their contribution to the education system. Hikes up VAT for @ISC_schools and presides over 50 closures since the policy was introduced. #CartoonArt #BridgetPhillipson #EducationTax

“We have seen a drop in applications & pupils leaving us for the state sector. This is not an issue that will be a one-year problem & these numbers are likely just the start. VAT on school fees is doing significant damage to the economy & to education.” https://t.co/88CRCH06Ua

This is what happens when @UKLabour fuels a false narrative about private schools: organisations feel emboldened to exclude and penalise our children. The @NationalGallery should unite young people through art, not divide them. #EducationNotTax

A new school term and nothing changes — the Education Secretary is attacking independent schools again and claiming revenues that won’t materialise for state schools. 😔 1️⃣ @bphillipsonMP says she’ll “end subsidies for private schools” by hiking Ofsted fees — claiming £6.5m for

important thread on why the state shouldn't, and mustn't be allowed to, control education. Children and families have different wants and needs, capabilities and means. Bureaucrats and ideologies at best don't understand, and at worst don't care. Choice. @EducationNotTax

It is mind boggling that we have an Education Secretary backing VAT on private school fees making us the only country to tax education (without a subsidy). Bridget has closed perfectly good schools & disrupted the education of thousands of children. She says she’s proud of this

As children head back to school for a new academic year, we send our best wishes to all, particularly those affected by independent school closures and job losses. Since VAT was added to independent school fees in Jan 2025, pupil numbers have fallen, schools have shut, and

140-year-old private school saved from closure appoints new head - “The school confirmed it would remain open after parents and the local community came together to save it at the 11th hour” 😊👏 @EducationNotTax @KitPeacock @GuyEmma68700 https://t.co/3tiLoqKNt5
