Furthermore, in the provision of facilities to non-pupils, this is not universally undertaken free of charge by private schools. It will be for individual private schools to determine how they meet any additional costs as a result of the Bill measure. However, the Government expect private schools to continue to demonstrate public benefit, with partnership working, sharing of facilities and providing fee assistance as common ways in which these schools do that. Demonstrating public benefit is a requirement of the charitable status, and the Government do not expect partnership activity, provision of facilities to non-pupils or fee-assistance to decrease significantly.
