To ensure a King’s education can be enjoyed by as many families as possible, the fees for academic year 2024/25 will remain unchanged for the entire academic year. The VAT charge imposed on fees from January 2025 will be absorbed in its entirety by the school.
From 2025/26, we will begin to phase in the VAT increase. The Governors wish our fees to remain as affordable as possible and therefore have decided to employ a two- stage approach to fee setting for the academic year 2025/26. From September 2025, fees will increase by 10%, reflecting the current rate of inflation and a contribution to the VAT charge.
From January 2026, to cover the additional cost of the increase in Employer National Insurance Contributions, an additional 2.62% will be applied to the fees.
The schedule of fees effective from September 2025 to December 2025 for Years 7 to 13 are:
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.

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 Junior 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.
