    Valentina Fulco | From Model UN to studying Law and Politics

    By King's InterHigh

    Online school has provided Valentina with the opportunity for self-discovery. She tells us how having time to explore new interests has helped her learn what she wants to do in the future.

    The teachers at King’s InterHigh have been very supportive and helped me if I had any questions. There’s a variety of students from different parts of the world. I’ve been able to make connections everywhere, and I’m thankful for that.

    From Model UN to studying Law and Politics

     Why did you join King’s InterHigh, and what has your learning journey with us meant to you?

    I was having bad experiences with teachers and students at my primary school, which gave me a lot of anxiety. This made me scared to talk to people and made it difficult to concentrate on learning. So I decided it would be better for me to join an online school for secondary school.

    The teachers at King’s InterHigh have been very supportive and helped me if I had any questions. There’s a variety of students from different parts of the world. I’ve been able to make connections everywhere, and I’m thankful for that.

     Is there something you’ve learned from King’s InterHigh that’s special to online learning or your situation?

    Online school has helped me learn about myself, whereas students or teachers would influence me a bit more at my previous school. There’s been more opportunities to take part in activities. I really enjoyed the Model United Nations experience, especially as I was having a hard trying to learn what I want to do at university.

    Joining the Model United Nations has helped me find new friends and decide what I want to do in the future. I’m now interested in politics and law, because of this experience.

     What are your dreams for the future?

    I’m going to do A Levels in Law, Politics and French. I’m really excited for those, especially as I couldn’t study Law and Politics for my GCSEs. I’m glad King’s InterHigh has a few different subjects to choose from, and there’s more than compulsory courses.

    I’d also like to continue my studies at university. I’m not sure what degree or university I want to study at yet, but it’ll be something in the field of politics.

    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.
