The data is coming in, and the impact of #SchoolFeeVAT on state schools and children's education is undeniable, it's clear that the Govt has got it projections very wrong. Here's what we know:

ISC reported: A 1.7% drop in ind. school student numbers in Sept, including a 4.6% decline in Year 7 —around 10,500 fewer students on roll vs 2023.
➕
In-year transfer applications: 200 LAs have reported 3,000 in-year transfer applications, with 85 LAs still to respond, suggesting around 5,000 applicants.
➕
ISC report that 2,550 students have served notice to leave 900 independent schools in Jan, with the total across all 2,600 schools likely even higher.

🙈This early data does not bode well for schools, children—and this is just the tip of the iceberg as it should come as no surprise that: Parents will protect their children’s education, they will strain every sinew to avoid in-year transfers, which educators recommend avoiding, especially during GCSE/A-level years. Parents will wait for the right "jump-off point" (e.g., September, Year 3, Year 7, Year 12) for an unfunded state school place.

Given the early data, the Govt should expect medium-term displacement to be far greater than their projected 3000 in 2024/5 and longer term 35,000

The full impact won’t be clear for a few years, but by then, much damage will have already been done to children, state schools and our world leading independent school sector. Parents will seek a formal review of this pernicious tax and the Govt must be held to account each year. There is time to #FindABetterWay and @UKLabour should scrap #SchoolFeeVAT #EducationNotTax

Brilliant to see two OBs (2024) playing each other 🏉 today. On this occasion Alfie’s team (@GlenalmondSport ) was victorious against Sam’s (@lorettosport )
😀 though I’m not sure Alfie’s hair is a winner… 🤔

@LBC @Matthew_Wright This presenter is either extremely stupid or chose to misrepresent what the person was saying.
There are thousands of freeloading parents who use the state system who are far wealthier than those who use the independent system.

Well done to Alfie & Charlie, both of whom scored unbeaten half centuries in the boys’ 1st XI 🏏 v Ardvreck. That makes three players who have reached that milestone already this year for the team - an impressive start to the season 👏

Dead fish spilling out from an @rspcaassured salmon farm off the Isle of Skye. How the hell can this suffering be greenwashed as "responsible" by the RSPCA? @RSPCA_official @RSPCA_PATeam @RSPCAChris @DavidBowles21 @Emma_Slav @ChrisGPackham

Drama on penultimate ball as big hit is caught in the deep but unfortunately fielder stepped back onto the line, meaning a 6 to get Jamie into the lead by one run. 😬Jamie C is our 2023 champion 🏆(Proudly wearing an England shirt donated by Mr. Brown.)
