The closure of two Christian private schools in Scotland has been branded "sad" and "heartbreaking".

Kilgraston in Perthshire, Scotland's only Catholic boarding school, said it was closing with immediate effect, citing "the possible impact of VAT on school fees". A "short- and long-term funding deficit", and the collapse of a planned sale also contributed to the decision. 

In Greenock, Cedars Christian school is to close at the end of September after 25 years in the west Scotland town. It also cited concerns over Labour's VAT plans in a letter to parents. CT.
