King William’s College and The Buchan School will introduce a phased approach to increasing its school fees.
In August 2024, the School confirmed that there would be no changes to the fees already announced for the 2024-25 academic year.
KWC absorbed the VAT element of school fees for this year, which prevented an immediate increase and giving families time to prepare.
Looking ahead, the School will introduce a phased and controlled fee adjustment starting in September 2025.
Phased Approach
Over the next four years, fee increases will remain below double digits, covering inflation and the VAT impact.
This means the College will continue to absorb a portion of the VAT, ensuring stability for families.
Principal Damian Henderson said: “We understand that school fees are a significant consideration for families, and we are committed to keeping increases as manageable as possible, while continuing to invest in our students’ education and experiences.
“By taking a phased approach, we can support our families while maintaining the excellence that defines King William’s College and The Buchan School.”
Campus Developments
This academic year the school has opened a new Fourth Form Centre, upgrades to boys’ boarding accommodation, and the strategic relocation of classrooms and offices.
These improvements are paving the way for one of the most significant changes in the School’s history – the move of The Buchan School to the KWC campus.
This transformative step is progressing well, with the recent sale of The Buchan School’s current Westhill site to a local developer.
