2023-24 UK private school fees rise 8% to over £18,000 a year, as enrolments decline 2.7%.
Average private school fees in the UK have risen to more than £18,000 a year, up by 8%. This comes as new pupil enrolments in private schools dropped by 2.7% compared to last year, marking the largest decline in enrolments since the Independent Schools Council (ISC) began collecting data in 2011. The latest annual census from the ISC revealed that fees for private day schools increased by 8% for the 2023-24 academic year. Labour's proposed plan to charge 20% VAT on private fees is causing concern among private schools regarding pupil recruitment and retention.
