It's really not that simple. The "take away charitable status" thing is a proper pub-policy that's fine when you're using a magic wand.
It will take time and real skill to draft suitable legislation that is solid and doesn't have negative unintended consequences on charities.
It would be mental to spend time on it when the country is so utterly fucked. The end of the next term? Sure. Maybe.

Most governments have picked an area of tax avoidance/evasion to work on, it’s happened with Construction, Film/TV production companies and IT contracting.
Private schools/charities are just another sector due for reform, i’m surprised there is such a stink over it as so few can afford it. -
My suggestion wasn't to necessarily remove charitable status, but to extend / enforce the existing legislation to ensure that private schools actually act charitably.

Add in a proviso that bursary places must be maintained, or even increased year on year.
