Fettes College may cut jobs after Government's VAT decision
The private school in Edinburgh said it needs to run its operations "as efficiently as possible". Jobs at a prestigious Scots private school may be lost as it looks to cut costs following the UK Government's introduction of VAT on school fees. Fettes College in Edinburgh said the decision was one of the reasons it took the 'difficult' decision to 'right size our staffing model'. The Scotsman reported that the school – attended by former prime minister Tony Blair – has opened a consultation process for both teaching and operational staff in order to reduce numbers. The most recent accounts show 751 students in August 2024, down from 780 the previous year. academic year, inclusive of VAT. The Labour government imposed VAT on private education and boarding fees, effective from January 1. Ministers argue that removing the VAT exemption will benefit the wider education sector, including the 94% of pupils who attend state schools. A spokesman for Fettes College said the sector is facing a 'tough time' and appealed for privacy for the staff involved. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The spokesman said: 'Various factors have conspired to increase costs on all organisations and schools are not immune, particularly with the recent imposition of VAT on school fees and rise in national insurance contributions. 'Despite being financially very well managed with a strong student roll, these factors are having an impact on our costs and numbers, and we are obliged to run our operations as efficiently as possible. 'These headwinds obviously affect our families too and our parents need to be certain that we are taking the necessary decisions to run the school efficiently and to use their money effectively. 'A consultation process began in May to right size our staffing model. This difficult decision may result in some redundancies. 'We will continue to provide the highest standard of educational experience, delivering our innovative vision for the school and maintaining our position as a leader in the sector.'

Thousands of Scots struggling to save for first home secretly barred from government's help to buy scheme
Dawn Ramsay, a Dundee-based mortgage broker, said the rule change was a 'kick in the teeth' for first time buyers 'kick in the teeth' Thousands of Scots struggling to save for first home secretly barred from government's help to buy scheme Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MOST first-time buyers have been quietly banned from an SNP government scheme to help people get on the housing ladder. The Open Market Shared Equity scheme allows people to pay for as little as 60 per cent of a sale price, with the state buying the rest. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Most first-time buyers have been quietly banned from the SNP help to buy scheme Credit: Alamy It had mostly been used by first-time buyers on lower incomes. But now first-time buyers have been locked out of the scheme unless they fit into a 'priority' group such as social renters or people with disabilities. Data obtained by the BBC shows that the majority of the scheme's past users did not belong to any of the priority groups. Dawn Ramsay, a Dundee-based mortgage broker, said the rule change was a 'kick in the teeth' for first time buyers. She said: 'It pushes the house price up because there could be five or six people looking at a property, and some of them may well have financial backing where they can pay over the asking price for that property. 'It's not a level playing field. These are the people that will keep our housing market moving.' And Scottish Tory shadow housing secretary Meghan Gallacher said: 'This is typical of the sleekit SNP. No wonder they didn't people knowing they had quietly ditched this flagship scheme during a housing emergency that has spiralled on their watch. 'SNP ministers appear hellbent on turning their noses up at those with aspirations of getting on the property ladder with short-sighted decisions like this.' Last year, 182 out of 210 successful OMSE purchases were made by first-time buyers with just six per cent in the priority groups. The scheme does not allow househunters to bid over the asking price so low-income buyers are frequently outbid by those that can afford to pay over the odds for property, particularly investors. Homeowners blast 'tone-deaf' plan by billionaire to build massive resort & rename town as they insist it'll 'destroy' it The scheme opened in 2007 and was mostly used by low-income first-time buyers seeking a way out of private lets or family homes. The Scottish Government declared a national housing emergency in May last year pledging to increase housing supply and tackle homelessness, with more than four in 10 Scots struggling to meet housing costs. A Scottish Government spokesperson said: 'Supporting social renters to make the transition to affordable home ownership will help free up social rented accommodation, which in turn could help families move out of temporary accommodation.'
