Has anyone asked where our Education Secretary’s kids go to school? It’s not in her constituency, it houses premises built in 2000 in a landscaped surrounding, it boasts it is a high performing school and is Ofsted outstanding. It is not the school opposite her house in her constituency which is not afforded the same reputation. So I’m told. Like @Keir_Starmer she didn’t spend her money on school fees she spent it on the house that bought the place. But that’s ok. Apparently.

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

After #SueGray ; #Gifts #favours #benefits taken by @Keir_Starmer now yet another revelation. Not only the Guido Fawkes reporting that the July 23 IFS paper's author, Luke Sibieta, is closely connected with Matthew Pennycook MP https://t.co/bZd0u7fVcs - @dailytelegraph reports too.

Hi @NAOorguk the IFS report on removing Education VAT exemptions relies on weak, outdated data. MPs have frequently cited its 'independence' to justify their policy. Given today's revelations from @GuidoFawkes, an urgent NAO inquiry into this report is essential. #EducationNotTax

[Rob @parkgrange]

@bphillipsonMP What a shameful, envious, and hateful post. Taxing education will result in more pressure on state schools. Levelling down in plain sight.

Every child needs a decent education a lot more than you need freebie Taylor Swift, Wimbledon, cricket, and National Theatre tickets.

@ Over a week of false promises and missed deliveries, @DHLParcelUK admit today that they've lost my daughter's main Christmas present. Absolutely the worst service ever - And too late to get a replacement.

My daughter's main Christmas present appears to be in an @DHLParcelUK black hole full of empty promises and false 'due for delivery' messages. Come on DHL, you can do it... 41916321067539
