The teaching unions hate them, but low-cost private schools like mine are here to stay

Durham, has just successfully completed its first year. Fees are less than £3,000 per child per annum, the equivalent of 60 per cent of the per capita funding in state primary schools and less than a fifth of the fees in an average independent school. Every commentator said it couldn’t be done.

teaching unions are radical lefties, they will not like anyone who teaches values other than theirs. Nor will they be happy if private schools out perform them

As long as they don’t have charitable status, you can’t tell people how they should spend their money. We need a properly funded public education system though.

The question is whether the direction it undermines the education system overall. Many can’t afford £3k p.a. fees. Will this lead to a 2 tier system?

Once again rhetoric fails us, with norms masquerading as empirical.
