Buckinghamshire Council apologizes for requesting financial proof for private-to-state school transfers, defying government guidelines.
Buckinghamshire Council in the UK has apologized for asking parents transferring children from private to state schools to provide financial proof, which violates government school admissions guidelines. The council noted a rise in applications amid concerns over a planned VAT increase on private school fees in January 2025. While they clarified that the request was not formal policy, they anticipate more transfers as parents seek affordable education options.
