I don’t make statements on what constitutes the basis of other people’s posts.

Again you resort to allegations of spreading false information, and yet I have provided quotes from the school head confirming that enrollment had already fallen below a sustainable level and has now fallen further below the sustainable level.

 

You really should wind in your habit of accusing me of dishonesty when I have backed my statements with those of the head of school.

Really?

Yes as someone else says, the straw that broke the camel’s back, but clearly the back was already at breaking point.

 

I think the school has been around about 67 years.

 

 

That was another member responding to your misinformation post, do you want a link?

 

The head of the school does not back your claims that it was on the ropes before.

Brian, I hate to break it to you but referring to someone else’s post is not the same thing as making a statement on the basis of that post.

Word salad to deflect from your dishonesty on what the head said. She is nopt saying they were struggling before this

 

Julie Lodrick, Headmistress of Tudor Hall School, said: “We are reviewing the future of Carrdus School following the government’s decisions to introduce VAT on parents’ school fees mid-way through the school year, remove charitable business rates relief and increase employers’ national insurance contributions.

"This combination has put both huge pressure on the school’s finances and our families with a number of parents giving notice to withdraw their child from the school.

A human rights issue to attend private school eh ?

 

Yes.

 

The action will be brought around Article 14, the prohibition of discrimination, and Article 2 of the First Protocol, the right to education.

It proves everything, you stated "A human rights issue to attend private school eh ?"

 

It is, its going to court on that basis with over 1000 schools on the action. You obviously did not read the link as to why......

I did. 

 

 Now please show me where it states that attending a private school in UK is a human right.

 

A statute or a law or something. Not an ongoing court case.

If there is no alternative suitable education being provided by the state but there is private.

 

No you obviously did not read the link. Perhaps you need some education on this, here's another.

 

What will VAT on private education mean for children with SEND

Driven to desperation and failed by the system, many parents of SEND children have turned to the private sector where they often saw their children’s attainment and mental health improve dramatically.

The announced plans to add 20% VAT on all private education is a massive blow, pushing many already strained families over the edge and pushing many children with SEND back to the already struggling state sector.

"For many of these families, a move to the private sector meant life changing financial decisions and sacrifices, with families forgoing holidays, cutting down on life essentials, taking out loans, stopping pension contributions or even remortgaging. Many have been supported by grandparents. These are not families striving for luxury or unfair advantage but families striving for a relative normality and a chance to give their children adequate education that will allow them to be independent in the future. "

Private school is an unfair advantage. 

 

All of those claims about families need to be backed up or they are worthless.

 

Anyone can claim they had to do this or that. Oh no so hard off skipping a family holiday. The horror.

You claimed I was lying, you claimed none of the links provided information on the wealth of people attending private schools. You are wrong.

The Corrdus school is situated in Oxfordshire, a county blessed with many excellent state schools.

 

The choice is very clearly  not about a lack of excellent schools, it’s about buying privilege.

What excellent state schools are within travelling distance of Corrdus in Banbury, what is their admission criteria? Have you read the reports on the excellence? Do they have placements available mid term like this?

But they don't!

Hence the need for choice if available/affordable!

Probably not a good idea to pick one on the ropes.
