Sporting Academies

King's InterHigh for Sporting Academies & Performing Arts

Quality education with greater flexibility

Ensuring a quality performance on and off the field

Sporting and performing arts students have a tremendous challenge. Elite-level performance requires dedication and focus, yet it has to be balanced with the right attention to education.

In the modern world of sport and entertainment, education is essential to navigating the complexities of the performing arts and sporting life, or as a fallback if things don’t work out.
Progressive academies and stage schools recognise this and ensure that they provide quality teaching to their members.

The flexibility of King’s InterHigh’s online provision suits the demands of sporting and performing arts students, who must fit their education around training regimes, tournaments, rehearsals and performances. The combination of live lessons and recordings ensure students can always stay up to date or catch-up if they need to.

Above all, what we offer our young people is time. The effectiveness of our school means that pupils are ‘in school’ for only three or four hours a day, giving them an unrivalled opportunity to pursue their goals. It all adds up to make King’s InterHigh as individual as our pupils.

Why InterHigh?

Features and benefits

Sporting academies and performing arts schools work with King’s InterHigh for a wide range of reasons. Below are just some of the features you can benefit from by partnering with us.

Flexible learning

King’s InterHigh’s online learning platform and lesson library allows for greater flexibility when it comes to fitting your learning around training sessions, tournaments, rehearsals and performances. This allows pupils to make great progress in their studies. Our pupils have control over their learning and their interactions around the school.

Quality education

Our Key Stage 2, 3, 4 and 5 curriculum is taught by qualified, trained and experienced staff whose detailed knowledge of their subject is matched by their motivation and energy to see every pupil in their care succeed.

Real-time lessons

Lessons are live and led by our expert faculty. Within timetabled lessons, we utilise a number of teaching and learning methods. These range from exercise lessons which can be small breakout groups of 2-3 students, right up to lead lessons which are subject masterclasses demonstrating new topics and knowledge.

24/7 access to curriculum and lesson library

The effectiveness of our learning platform means that pupils are able to watch any missed lessons back in full. This ensures greater flexibility for students at sporting academies, as well as providing them with a useful resource for revision, project work and to consolidate learning.

    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.

    Technology integration fee

    At Inspired, we are committed to investing in cutting-edge technology to enhance student learning and development, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future. This fee will contribute to the development of our Inspired AI tools and our investment in best-in-class learning technology.
