Please note - The new UK Government has now announced that Independent School Fees will be subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) from January 2025. At present, all independent schools are awaiting full details of how this VAT will be applied (what the breakdown will be, in terms of which elements of the fee are subject to VAT). Prospective parents should be aware that Aldenham is preparing to publish what our new fee structure will be once these details are fully clear. As always, we advise parents to take independent financial advice when considering committing to paying fees of this nature to ensure ongoing affordability and to prevent disruption to the child's education.
The fees below DO NOT include any chargeable VAT.
