The families, supported by the Independent Schools Council (ISC), have filed a High Court judicial review claim — arguing the tax could price them out of private education and into the state sector where their needs cannot be met. The legal challenge claims the policy is discriminatory because it causes unnecessary harm to certain categories of children.
The ISC argues children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) are facing real uncertainty; families of vulnerable girls in single-sex schools are confronting painful choices; minority Jewish and Muslim families fear they cannot provide an education for their children that respects their faith.
