      This is a quite spectacularly banal point. The whole point of private schools is that they're not open. Hence the name.https://twitter.com/tpgcolson/status/1105077816935227392 …

      Isn’t a better argument against private schools that state schools should compete with them to be so good that no parent would waste their money paying to go private? I’m a comp kid who sends her daughter to private school & it’s the best money I’ve ever spent

      What about grammar schools? My local one takes less far less pupils on free school meals than the average and all the kids I know who go there went to private primary schools.

      Of course it does. How do you think all those kids growing up in homes with parents on benefits/minimum wage and going to the local primary school are going to reach the level needed to pass the exams to get in? Primary schools aren’t teaching to that standard.

          I agree and my point is that before anyone vilifies private schools they need to have a good look at how socially exclusive many grammars and faith schools are.

          And funding cuts are making that worse. Maybe scrap private schools' charitable status and direct money saved to funding early years education.

          The problem with that is that you will then have to pay millions to build new schools for those who can no longer afford private schools and the likelihood of some private schools closing.

          Or, private schools cut their fees. And why prioritise 7% of kids over many, many more who'd benefit from better early years education. Which has been shown to have a dramatic impact on life chances of those who receive it.

          I don’t think many could afford that. Over 100 have closed since 2016 and of course that means more money is needed for state school places for those with no school.

          Versus up to 1,000 Sure Start children’s centres shut down in England since 2010? And, you're forgetting the newer 'low cost/no frills' private schools being given green light by government.

          I agree that early years funding is inadequate but trying to get the money from private schools is counterproductive. A recent study found that private schools save the taxpayer over £3.5 billion a year - the cost of providing school places to over half-a-million pupils.

          Given there are about 600,000 private school kids in total, don't you think it's an outstanding leap of logic to suggest 500,000 of them will come back into state system given a) many are foreign b) many of their parents could easily swallow the fee increase.

          Replying to @PhilM1666 @marksimonmartin and

          And private school fees have risen by ~50% in the past decade, a time of pretty low general inflation, and so why should 93% of taxpayers help contribute when their own kids will not get any of the benefits?
