The headteacher at a school for children with dyslexia is calling for an exemption for specialist settings when VAT changes for private schools are introduced.
Michelle Catterson is executive headteacher at Moon Hall School in Reigate, where many pupils have an additional diagnosis, such as ADHD, dyspraxia or autism.
She said the children that attended did so “out of necessity” not as a “lifestyle choice”.
A government spokesperson said ending tax breaks on private schools would help fund its education priorities including recruiting 6,500 new teachers.
