About this listen

Private Education Forum (PEPF) is an organisation dedicated to contributing towards significantly reducing inequalities of access, outcomes and resources for pupils as these arise from private education.


PEPF is both a think tank (undertaking independent research, fact-finding and analysis, communicating the results, and shaping the policy agenda) and a forum (for drawing all parties into the debate about ways forward). We were launched in September 2019 as Private School Policy Reform and renamed in April 2021 to reflect our broader remit and commitment to ‘forum’ discussion with all stakeholders and parties.


The PEPF podcast includes recordings of public discussions and events which we hold publicly discuss the issue.

    Private Schools & Politics [Live from Hamilton House, London, September 2021]
    Oct 21 2021

    This is a recording from an event held by PEPF at London's Hamilton House, home of the National Education Union, on the 14th September 2021 to discuss the complex and controversial relationship between UK private schools and politics. Education journalist Fiona Millar chaired a panel including Novara Media's Ash Sarkar, low cost private education expert James Tooley, author and journalist Robert Verkaik and - kindly joining via videolink after a positive COVID test - conservative peer Lord Ralph Lucas. A fascinating panel discussion was followed by a lively Q&A with the audience, including a familiar attendee whose voice you may recognise!
