School fees

Kensington Prep School is part of the Girls’ Day School Trust, a charitable trust which reinvests all its income in its schools.

The government has announced that VAT at the rate of 20% will be added to independent school fees from 1 January 2025. The final details of VAT changes will be confirmed in the Autumn Budget on 30 October 2024.

| Extras

There is a charge for extras, which varies per year group. VAT on extra-curricular activity charges is subject to clarification in the Budget.

This charge contributes towards trips and other educational activities which are not included in the general curriculum. The fund also provides support for drama shows, theatre trips, and the hire of venues for events such as our carol service. From Year 4 onwards the Extras charge includes residential trips. Extra-curricular clubs may incur an additional charge.

Optional individual music lessons are charged separately.

This deposit will be held until the end of a pupil’s final term in the school and will be refunded within 12 weeks of leaving, less any sums owing to the Trust or the school at that time. This deposit is forfeited if the place is not taken up.
