Despite all the squealing and hand-wringing from the over-privileged, its now obvious that introducing VAT on private school fees has not resulted in thousands leaving private schools or in any consequential shortage of state school places.

No exodus to state sector after VAT added to private school fees, say English councils | Private schools | The Guardian
