In a bid to win the next general election, expected to be held before January 2025, the Labour Party have pledged that it will end business rate relief for private schools.

As well as ending the financial aid being put towards the elite institutions, the left-wing party has also said that it will be charging an increased VAT price, currently measuring at 20 per cent.
