King’s InterHigh, wins award for ‘Educational Establishment of the Year’

By King's InterHigh

 InterHigh, part of the Wey Education Group, providing live, interactive and online teaching in the UK, has been presented with the ‘Educational Establishment of the Year’ award at the annual Education Resources Awards.

Established in 2005, InterHigh is an online school supporting learners from primary school through to sixth form college, offering everything you’d expect from a traditional school with the bonus of a specialised learning platform, bringing schooling to students in a way that suits them. InterHigh offers a full British curriculum, and as pupils move through the school, they can study a wide range of IGCSE, AS and A Level courses.

Lessons are streamed and delivered in live, interactive classrooms by highly qualified teachers and students have access to digital lesson recordings, interactive activities and the full course resources.

The service was praised by the judges for its innovative, flexible nature and outstanding impact on children’s learning – with students commenting that InterHigh is ‘quite possibly the best experience I could’ve asked for in high school’ and ‘the best solution I wanted, it pushed me to my limits to help untap the potential which a conventional school could not do’. The online school also plays host to a virtual common room, secure social media platform, career advice and guidance as well as social events throughout the year.

Commenting on this award, the judges commended InterHigh, stating:

“The ERA judges were all very impressed with Wey Education and InterHigh’s specialised learning platform, creating a study place for learners from primary schools right up to sixth form college by streaming lessons live via interactive classrooms.

“The judges particularly liked this way of educating students, in such a modern fashion that not only allows students to study a wide range of courses but suits them and is available outside the normal lesson time.”

Jacqueline Daniell, CEO of Wey Education, said:

“Of course, we are delighted to receive this award. InterHigh School has attracted some of the best teachers from around the world who are able to deliver highly interactive, engaging and creative content. We know this success wouldn’t be possible without the talented and inspiring Wey Education community – faculty, staff, parents and most importantly the pupils.”

The Education Resource Awards play a key role in identifying and rewarding excellence in education trade. The winning organisations were announced at the Education Resources Awards via a virtual ceremony on YouTube on Friday 27 March.

By King's InterHigh

King’s InterHigh is an independent British international online school. Offering Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form education, we cater to students from age 7 – 18 who are looking for a high quality British education delivered in a way that revolves around their lifestyle.

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.
