Fees

We know the government’s introduction of VAT on private school fees from January will be a challenge for many of our families, and we are determined to support our hardworking community by reducing extra costs wherever we can, and making our fees as affordable and transparent as possible. We are thrilled to share some exciting news: from January 2025, Howell’s Nursery and Prep school fees will include term-time wraparound care.
