At King’s Worcester, our Governors and Foundation Leadership Team are deeply committed to providing an outstanding education and a nurturing environment for every pupil. Our fees reflect the high quality of teaching, excellent facilities, and the rich academic, co-curricular, and pastoral opportunities available across the school. We believe in offering an education that supports personal growth, academic ambition, and preparation for life beyond the classroom, ensuring every pupil is equipped to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our fees for Academic Year 25/26 and those effective from September 2026 for the 26/27 academic year are illustrated below.
When the Government applied VAT to school fees our approach was to shield families as much as possible by absorbing the initial impact entirely. This academic year we began passing on some of the cost of the increase. This is illustrated above in the School Fees per term from January 2026.
From September 2026 our fees, as illustrated above, will reflect passing on the full amount of VAT.
The School Fees are payable for the provision of Education Service. At the time of writing, the School has assessed that the School Fees are subject to VAT.
The termly school fees for King’s Worcester are inclusive of:
- Specialist subject specific tuition
- Learning skills support
- Textbooks
- Specialist careers and university advice and guidance
- Personal Accident Insurance – see details below
- School counselling service
Specified Charges (non-vatable) are applied for the following:
At the time of writing, the School has assessed that Specified Charges are not subject to VAT. The School reserves the right to charge VAT pursuant to Clause 4.3 of the Parent Contract where it later assesses VAT to be chargeable on any of the Specified Charges.
Specified Charges for all other Services will be notified to you in writing in advance of your child taking part in the activity (e.g. for some trips and visits, after school clubs or subscriptions).
Sibling Discount
From September 2025, a reduction in fees (fifteen percent for a third child, and twenty percent for a fourth child) is available when three or more siblings are pupils at the school together effective when the youngest child reaches Reception.
School Lunches
Our school catering is provided by Thomas Franks. They are very well-versed in catering for independent education establishments. They are family-owned and run, with over 30 years of experience in creating delicious and seasonal food cooked from scratch using fresh, high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. The healthy menus provided offer a wide choice of options catering for a range of tastes and special diets.
All pupils are assumed to be having school lunches and will be billed accordingly, termly in advance unless the school receives written notice before the start of term. Our healthy menus offer a wide choice of options catering for a range of tastes and special diets.
Pupils can purchase hot snacks, pastries, and drinks at our mid-morning break service in the Dining Hall. Breakfast is also available before school.
Pupils’ Personal Accident Insurance Scheme
All pupils will be covered by the school’s personal accident insurance.
Pupils’ Sickness Absence Insurance Scheme (optional)
Under the school’s terms and conditions, there is no waiver of fees for pupil absence. However, the school offers an insurance scheme that makes available fee refunds if pupils are absent from school for five or more days due to illness or accident. The premium for the insurance is 0.64% of the net termly tuition fee. Further details and a participation reply slip may be downloaded here.
Payment Of Fees
Fees are charged in advance and, if paid termly, are due on or before the first day of term. Alternatively, fees may, by arrangement, be paid either in monthly instalments by direct debit or by depositing lump sums in advance.
In cases of late payment, the Governors reserve the right to make a surcharge, composed of simple interest calculated at a rate of one percent of the outstanding balance per month.
Financial Assistance (Bursaries)
We offer a number of bursaries annually including full bursaries at the Senior School and, very occasionally, at the Prep Schools. Bursaries are means-tested. Bursaries can also be offered to pupils who might otherwise leave the school because of financial hardship. Find out more in our Scholarship and Bursaries section.
