"I joined King's InterHigh in 2014 after completing one year of 6th Form. I felt I'd chosen the wrong A Level subjects but was unable to switch... The tutors were very thorough and really helped me. Not one lesson was cancelled in the two years that I studied with King's InterHigh which I thought was very impressive."

I joined King’s InterHigh in September 2014 having completed my first year of 6th Form at Secondary School. I felt I had chosen the wrong A level subjects at school and was unable to switch courses.

We looked at local colleges but none were offering A level courses as the funding for A levels has been cut. My mum had heard about King’s InterHigh through a friend and I immediately knew that this would be a good way of learning for me.

The tutors were very thorough and really helped me. Not one lesson was cancelled in the two years that I studied with King’s InterHigh which I thought was very impressive.

I felt like I was in control of my studying much more than when I was at school, I could email my teachers any questions that I had and they would respond quickly to me. It felt like a grown up way of learning. I knew that I wanted to go to University and so I worked hard at my studies and with the help of my King’s Interhigh tutors I have achieved my goal.

Preparing for a better future…

I achieved my required grades at A level in August 2016 and gained my place at Goldsmiths University in London to study Media and Communication. I am really enjoying my course and the experience of being at University. King’s InterHigh enabled me to achieve my goal of getting to University.

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.
