The first private schools to have to demonstrate a charitable purpose have been named by the Charity Commission. Five schools must prove they are not "exclusive clubs" as part of the public benefit review that will apply to all charity schools from April 2009. This is because the assumption that fee-charging schools, religious charities and care homes offer a public benefit has been removed in law. There have been fears that some schools may lose their charitable status. But the Charity Commission says it believes most independent fee-charging schools are likely to meet the test and that it is prepared to help those that do not. BBC
