Between June and September—due to Labour's tax rise—over 3,000 UK private school students applied to transfer into state schools, with another 2,500 set to leave in January, according to the Independent Schools Council.
The Labour Treasury had estimated only 3,000 students would leave over the entire 2024/2025 period.
That means 183% of Labour’s projected departures have already indicated they’ll make the switch—well ahead of the original estimate.
The impact? Every new primary school student entering the state system will cost the taxpayer £4,265, and every secondary school student will cost £5,525. And that’s only if there’s space for them in already crowded schools.
So they've just cost millions when we're in an inflation crisis... Ideology over common sense.
