Private school pupils in Edinburgh not flooding to state school despite VAT hike
Edinburgh's state schools have not been flooded with children moving from private education despite concerns over the UK Government's VAT hike.
This is no surprise. As I have continuously argued, the price point of private education is not a key consideration for its purchase.
Experience, opportunities, and networks are.

Just feels very odd post a global pandemic, post what was variously described as a “mass disabling event”, that the deterioration of about 5-10% of the population’s physical and mental health is being described as this big mystery.

Christmas lights and trees in Marischal Square
A ferris wheel and helter-skelter lit up
Against a dark sky
A ship in the port lit up
A row of old houses lit by dim street lamps in the old harbour
In Aberdeen for an early start tomorrow so went for a quick run and managed to pick the Christmas lights switch on night! Down to the old harbour and back round Marischal Square.
