Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
On top of that, we have had the recent financial attack on independent schools, which has led to severe cuts to bursaries for state school pupils. This will damage talented young people in the state sector. Just look at Millfield: 92% of the 82 boys and girls who went through Millfield had transformative bursaries attached to them. So many of the independent schools are now having to cut back on their costs, trim their sails and cut back on those bursaries.
