Fees and Finance

School fee rises in response to VAT and other tax changes

The Governors have announced a 12% fee increase for both the junior and senior schools for September 2025. This was a particularly difficult decision, which was made to ensure the financial stability of the Schools whilst also recognising the challenges it may pose for families. The Governors have decided to make an early announcement of fees in order to aid financial planning.

The higher level of fee increases announced for both January and September 2025 is a result of the impact of major tax policy changes introduced by the government in 2024, with the application of VAT on fees, the loss of charitable business rates relief, and higher employers' national insurance contributions from April.

Looking ahead, the Schools do not anticipate high fee increases in future years, and remain committed to delivering an excellent education to meet the needs of our pupils today and in the future.

The school fees for the 2025-26 academic year are as follows:

Junior School and Nursery

Senior Schools and Sixth Form
