Drumduan School, a private school based near Forres in Moray, is reported to be closing after about 40 years in the area. Coverage says the school charges around £13,500 per year and that it was co-founded by actor Tilda Swinton. The reporting states that the school’s closure is linked to financial pressures attributed to a VAT-related policy change under Labour. The outlet notes that Drumduan has a documented history in the region and that it has had notable former pupils, including the twins of actress Tilda Swinton. The articles characterize the VAT issue as a contributing factor to the school’s decision, framing it as a matter of affordability and operational sustainability. However, the available information does not include details of any formal decision notice, timelines for the closure, or independent assessment of the school’s finances beyond the cited claim about VAT. The reporting therefore centers on the school’s announcement and the stated reason for its closure, rather than additional corroborating data.
