In addition, “the UK has seen an increase in the number of parents choosing to home educate their children. In 2024, a BBC investigation found the number of children moving to home education in the UK is at its highest level since the pandemic. Councils received almost 50,000 notifications in the last academic year from families wanting to take their children out of school. This does not include children already being home educated.” (Source BBC, June 2024).
Furthermore, “private tutoring firms say that VAT on independent school fees has led to a surge in demand for help with 11 plus entry tests for state grammar schools” (Source: The IPaper, Feb 2025).
