flag Oxfordshire private schools see top GCSE results, but some close due to 20% tuition VAT.

flag A new ranking of Oxfordshire private schools by GCSE performance for 2024/25 shows St Helen and St Katharine and Tudor Hall School leading with 98% of students achieving top grades (9 to 7) in English and maths. flag Magdalen College School, d'Overbroecks, and Abingdon School followed with strong results. flag All students at d'Overbroecks achieved standard passes. flag Some schools, including Oxford Sixth Form College, Our Lady’s Abingdon, and Carrdus School, closed due to financial issues, partly linked to a new 20% VAT on private tuition. flag The tax is projected to raise £1.8 billion annually by 2029/30 for public services.
