Lady Victoria (pictured) went to Channing School in Highgate, North London - which costs £23,970 a year for juniors and £26,490 for seniors - before studying law.
The headmistress of the private school that Sir Keir Starmer ’s wife attended has branded Labour ’s plans to charge VAT on its fees as ‘short-sighted in the extreme’.
If VAT is charged, the additional 20 per cent would land the parents with a daughter at Channing from the age of four with a bill on top of current fees of about £70,600. ‘This would cause significant disruption for children forced to leave the school, but there should be even more concern about the capacity of local state schools to absorb the ensuing increase in pupil numbers.
The Headmistress of Channing School Lindsey Hughes said: ‘Charging parents VAT would make our education unaffordable for some and risk their children having to leave the schoolSir Keir Starmer has claimed the policy will generate £1.7 billion to spend on state education.
