Summary

73% Informative

Private schools forced to cut core costs to absorb a proportion of the VAT on fees.

Staffing costs can be up to 80% of school budgets meaning some have 'little other choice' Industry insiders have warned quality of private school education will decline.

But others have insisted it will merely “evolve” while others have said quality of education will 'evolve'.

Independent schools have announced fee rises of between 12 and 15 per cent on average from January 2025 .

Eton told parents it would pass on the full 20 per cent meaning annual fee rise of more than 10,000 .

Industry sources say this could result in bigger class sizes, declining facilities, fewer free extra-curricular options and narrowing subject choices.
