The business of private schools
Private schools in the UK are mostly registered as charities – but they are also businesses – businesses in the sense that they sell a service to paying customers.
They’ve recently been in the news because the new government has said it will remove their exemption from VAT.
In this episode we take a look at the business of private education: how it works, how much money is made and what will happen when exemption from VAT is removed from school fees.
Evan Davis is joined by:
Geoffrey Stanford, Head of Royal Grammar School Newcastle
Jesse Elzinga Head of Sevenoaks School
Cheryl Giovannoni, CEO, Girls' Day School Trust (GDST)
Duncan Murphy, Director of Education, MTM Consulting
PRODUCTION TEAM:
Producers: Drew Hyndman and Alex Lewis
Editor: Matt Willis
Sound: Rod Farquhar
Production co-ordinator: Rosie Strawbridge and Janet Staples
