Considering that the average charge for private school fees is £12000 per year (and they propose to fund up to £4700 per year)and the money will come form the budgets of the state schools in Bromley, this is a very frightening development.
Is this another portent of what would happen nationally under a Tory government.
Parents who lose jobs to have school fees subsidised by Bromley Council - Times Online |
A councillor asked a question at full council about what would happen to private school children if their parents were no longer able to pay their fees. As you know it's good practice for council officers to consider this. There are not and have never been plans from the controlling group to introduce a scheme like the one described.
I'm not sure why you need to end the post with scaremongering.
