Blimey aeronut-grab it while you can! that's almost 100k gross just to send the children to school!
Indeed, which is what a lot of people have done, and it's removal would actually free a lot of mid-career people to look again at staying in - which given the cuts in numbers coming could be advantageous.

I suspect that it will go, and if they're sensible (a big if, given £140m p.a. cost), those in school should be allowed to finish their current set of exams (ie GCSEs or A Levels) or the end of this year. It would also be interesting to see how many of the smaller private schools go to the wall over this - to be taken over by the free state system, possibly.
