The Government is rushing through a 'consultation' on VAT on private schools (The rush may backfire) My view? VAT is an extra tax on luxuries. It's not charged on cake Education is a charitable purpose How can Education be a luxury if cake isn't? 😐

Teachers do a brilliant job in delivering the curriculum but also, never underestimate the role of parents in preparing youngsters for life in the big wide world - hopefully not a controversial viewpoint! British 15 year olds are now 4th in the world for reading and 11th for maths (up from 27th since 2010) and these excellent core skills will stand them in great stead whatever life throws at them @GillianKeegan @CFofND @CFoEducation
