For Easter and Summer Term 2025, we have reduced fees from Reception to Year 8 by 6.7% (before VAT) in order to lessen the effective impact of VAT from 20% to 11.9%.
What does VAT apply to?
VAT applies to day fees and boarding fees. However, it does not apply to lunches or educational trips. Therefore, these two items are separated and listed as Vat Exempt Items at £400/term.
