    Junior Elite Tennis (JET) Academy have aced their education with InterHigh

    By King's InterHigh

    About JET

    Junior Elite Tennis are a tennis academy with a very singular focus on developing competitive tennis players. Working with a small number of young players, JET coach not just technical tennis skills, but character and resilience too. In the very competitive world of Tennis, players need to be strong holistically in order to be truly successful. The quality of coaching is high, including coaches such as Alan Jones (former ATP and WTA coach) and Jo Durie (former number 5 WTA). Learn more about JET at: https://www.jetennis.com/

    Why partner with InterHigh?
    Academy players have days packed full of skills sessions, strength and conditioning training, recovery programmes and not least their education. The dedication and time required to break into the elite level means players cannot attend mainstream schools. JET, and more importantly the parents did not want to compromise on education, so a more flexible approach was needed. One of the parents had already enrolled their child with InterHigh and had been impressed with the professionalism of the school’s staff and service. The online lessons, which are all recorded, fit well with the needs of our players. InterHigh offer a full UK curriculum from Year 4 to A level meaning the different age groups within JET can be catered for. JET engaged with InterHigh, but it became clear very early on that something more than the standard service would be needed. The Academy was looking for on-site support in the form of a supervisor for the pupils during the study sessions to accompany the online platform. InterHigh have been able to help, with a full-time teaching professional located in the JET learning centre. This means a safe environment and guidance is available for both the sporting and academic side of the players’ day. For the players/pupils themselves, they never have to miss-out on their education, even when competing at international tournaments. We all wish these amazing young people every success, but a sports career is a precarious one, so there should always be a safety net in the form of education.
    How are the pupils getting on?
    This generation live online, and for them it has been a reasonably easy getting to grips with the service. The parents were a little more nervous in the beginning, it has helped tremendously to have Sam, the centre’s learning supervisor, on-board. Not only is safeguarding covered, but he’s also able to check that all the players are keeping up with their work. They can speak to Sam and he can liaise with the InterHigh teaching staff where needed.
    What are your plans for moving forward?
    JET have plans to expand the number of players we support, and even though our partnership with InterHigh is a new one, it will likely grow and develop as the academy does. We look forward to the future and would strongly advise other sporting academies to seek a similar solution for their academy members.

    From our perspective, it’s certainly Game. Set. Match.

    VAT charges explained

    The UK Government has implemented a policy to charge VAT on independent schools taking effect from the 1st of January 2025. This VAT charge is payable by families who are based in, or access, King’s InterHigh from the UK. This change does not impact families who are based outside the UK and access King’s InterHigh from another country.

    We understand the significant financial commitment you make in choosing our online school as well as how important it is to be able to financially plan. After careful review of the details of the legislation, we will support parents by absorbing costs ourselves, so that a slower phasing in of this unwelcome change reduces its financial impact on families.

    For the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year (starting September 2024), Inspired Education Group will absorb much of the 20% VAT charge. For the Spring and Summer terms when the 20% VAT will now apply, we will only pass on 8.5% to families, taking up the difference ourselves.

    To further support families with the financial implications of this change in government policy, for the 2025-2026 academic year (starting in September 2025) there will be no inflationary tuition fee increases, and that Inspired Education Group will continue to absorb costs to limit the increase to 8.5% for that academic year. Overall, this will mean we have phased in 17% of the 20% VAT cost over two years to avoid sudden increases for families and have not increased tuition fees.

    King’s InterHigh is committed to offering competitive fees and accessible, high-quality independent education, along with the unique benefits of online learning. We are pleased that through careful cost control and the benefits of being part of Inspired, the leading global group of premium schools, we can significantly reduce the financial effect on families due to this change in UK VAT policy.
