School closed over VAT on fees ordered to pay teachers' lost wages
Staff who lost their jobs at the first private school in Scotland to close due to Labour's VAT policy have been awarded a payout for withheld wages. Kilgraston School in Perthshire closed in August last year with debts of more than £910,000 despite campaigning by parents and alumni to save it. The boarding school claimed it was a victim of the chancellor Rachel Reeves's decision to end the VAT exemption for fee-paying schools. At tribunals brought by teachers and staff who lost their jobs Judge Ian McFatridge ruled that wages had been unlawfully withheld by school management in the months leading up to Kilgraston's closure. His judgment, first reported by The Courier, also stated that staff who made claims should be awarded damages for being 'dismissed in breach of contract' in two instances. • Magnus Linklater: We all lose from Labour's VAT on school fees Kilgraston, in Bridge of Earn, failed to recruit enough pupils to stay afloat and its historic estate will be auctioned this month, having been valued at more than £1.6 million. McFatridge ordered Kilgraston School Trust to pay a total of £23,430 in unpaid wages and subsequent damages to three former members of staff. Kilgraston School Trust, which is now sequestered by PwC, did not respond to any of the claims brought to the tribunal. George Heriot's School has just agreed a 6 per cent increase in fees ALAMY In a letter to parents and former pupils sent last year, the school claimed the potential impact of changes to VAT exemptions for private schools and a roll of only 173 pupils were factors in its closure. It claimed it would need 210 pupils to break even and would have to plug an £860,000 black hole in its finances. The school also had £3.4 million of loans and finance commitments to pay. It was left with 'no choice' but to close, the board of trustees said. • Private schools VAT plan will benefit England over Scotland, says head Labour's controversial introduction of VAT on private schools was estimated to raise an extra £1.7 billion for the Treasury and to generate £150 million for Scotland's budget. However, head teachers warned it could have unintended consequences, such as the closure of private schools and overcrowding in state schools accommodating new pupils. Fee-paying schools across Scotland have raised concerns about the rising costs of private education and the impact on parents. Governors at George Heriot's School in Edinburgh agreed a 6 per cent increase in fees for this academic year while George Watson's College, also in Edinburgh, put fees up by 9 per cent, an increase of nearly £2,000.

More than a third of people ‘do not feel valued by their bank'
More than a third (35%) of customers do not feel valued by their bank, Which? research has indicated. The consumer group's survey in May of more than 13,600 members of its Connect Panel found many people said they had noticed the removal of services in the past two years. Common issues highlighted by Which? members included the loss of paper statements (18%); automatic cheque book replacement (15%); face-to-face appointments (14%); coin-counting machines in branch (8%); and ATMs that accept cheques (7%). Three in 10 (30%) people expressed dissatisfaction with branch banking and 9% were dissatisfied with telephone banking. Some 5% were dissatisfied with their bank's mobile banking services, and 6% were dissatisfied with their bank's online service. Which? said it believes that the current rollout of banking hubs – where banks share a single space – is too slow for enough customers to feel their benefits. It believes these banking hubs should offer a wider range of in-person banking services. Sam Richardson, deputy editor of Which? Money, said: 'It is clear that as bank branches continue to close at rapid rates, alternatives such as banking hubs will likely be the future of banking. 'However there remain too few of these for enough customers to feel their benefit, and Which? wants the range of services expanded to ensure they are available across the country.' John Howells, chief executive of cash access and ATM network Link said: 'While the way we pay and the way we bank is changing rapidly, it is vital that we maintain good options for people to pay in cash and for businesses to bank their cash. 'We can't afford to leave cash users behind as more people go digital. That's why we're committed to the rollout of banking hubs across the UK, alongside a reliable ATM network and a widespread Post Office network.' Gareth Oakley, chief executive of Cash Access UK said: ' Banking has changed considerably over the past decade, with more people choosing to bank and pay for things digitally, however we know first-hand the importance of access to cash and face-to-face services. 'Shared banking hubs provide a great solution as they can serve customers of multiple banks. 'Most banking hub customers come in to withdraw or deposit cash, but there is also a community banker available from the major high street banks on a nominated weekday who can provide support for more complex queries. 'These services, which are determined by each individual bank, include account management, payments and transfers, card issues, money management, managing power of attorney and support through bereavement. 'We are constantly evolving services based on customer feedback, but we are pleased with the positive responses we've had to date, and our customer satisfaction scores are exceptional. 'In terms of rollout, our job is to deliver the recommended cash services including banking hubs where these are needed. So far, we have opened 178 banking hubs and 132 deposit services, which allow businesses to readily deposit and access cash. 'From the moment a hub is recommended, we will work swiftly to bring services to a community as quickly as possible. 'Where the last bank branch is closing, a hub will open before it closes. Where communities have been without a bank for a while, we'll bring a hub to the community within three months. 'To date, Link have recommended 231 hubs and we hope to open the 200th banking hub before the end of the year.' A UK Finance spokesperson said: 'The banking industry always wants to deliver the best possible service to its customers. It's encouraging to see high levels of satisfaction with digital services, which increasingly are the most popular way for people to do their banking. 'Fewer customers are visiting branches, but significant ongoing investment is being made to support access to banking, including the rollout of shared banking hubs. The industry is on track to have 350 hubs by the end of this Parliament.' The spokesperson said banking hubs provide 'a wide range of services for customers'.
