Senior School Fees and Finance
Admissions
Kingswood School offers an education of breadth, balance and wellbeing, helping children to ignite their potential in the classroom, on the stage or sports pitch, or in their service to the community.
The Governors and lead team of Kingswood are committed to minimising the increase in fees every year, and particularly following the imposition of VAT in January 2025. Fees are reviewed annually, with any increase typically communicated to parents by the end of the Easter term each year.
