Nice little tax avoidance scam
Not sure if this really works in practice as HMRC rules specifically disallow gift aid on payments made for receipt of a service.
I guess people may try to game the system but I would guess HMRC would be onto it if it was happening on a large scale.
Not that I agree with the notion of private schools being charities at all; they should not be.

Nice little tax avoidance scam, especially if you have a few kids and a load of money. Most aren’t just schools, they are charities remember, and sending your kid is a donation if you pay a lump sum in advance.
