Julie Robinson, chief executive at the Independent Schools Council, expressed understanding for local authorities fearing an increase in student numbers. She stated, "At a macro level, it is true to say there are spaces in the state schools, but it's critical to ensure that they won't be overwhelmed. This presents a significant challenge for all educators involved." Her concern highlights the need for planning to accommodate potentially thousands of new students effectively.
A Whitehall source noted the urgency of preparing for possible school closures, saying, "We have to plan for the worst. Officials are monitoring those schools most at risk of closure to help local authorities prepare better where the number in need is significantly greater." This reflects the government’s proactive approach in assessing the educational landscape amid tax changes.
