Raising the Bar

How do we turn a threat into an opportunity?

The likely addition of VAT onto independent school fees has been the greatest threat to the sector in more than 50 years.  For a school like King’s, which is a standalone charity with an incredible history and a unique Cathedral Foundation, how we respond to this challenge in a positive way is particularly important.

In parallel with our strategy to mitigate the impact of VAT on school fees, we have also been working hard to continue improving the school for the future.

The document below aims to:

• summarise the key improvements that will take place at King's in the next two years.
• re-assure current and prospective parents that VAT-related efficiencies will not be to the detriment of a King’s education.

Our school is in a much stronger position than most comparable schools. Despite the challenges we will face, I want to reassure you that we will aim to ‘raise the bar’ once again, and further strengthen the education that we deliver.
