Remove the charitable status from private schools to remove tax cuts.

What the petition asks

Our aim for this petition is to remove the charitable status from private schools. We don’t agree with the underfunding of state schools and believe removing or reducing tax cuts from private schools will benefit funding of state schools.
We also believe the charitable status is undeserving as private schools only benefit and serve the wealthy, and a large number of the UK public cannot afford to send their children to Private schools, so it is unfair and could benefit state schools more
