EXCLUSIVE: Jordanhill in Glasgow receives a huge reduction in business rates, but the city's council run schools are liable for the full sum.

Scotland’s top performing secondary receives an 80pc discount on business rates that other state schools cannot access.George Redmond, Labour’s leader on Glasgow council, said: “This does not seem fair. Schools serving poorer areas should have a level playing field.”

Supporters of the school believe its unique funding model and independent ethos could serve as a model around Scotland. An 80c reduction would shave a massive £209,065 off the bill - the equivalent of salaries for six probationer teachers.
