To ask how much the annual fees are for private schools in the UK?

[stopgap]

I attended a comp in NW England, so have no point of reference. I’ve lived in the US for nearly twenty years, and private schools in NYC and its surrounding suburbs average upwards of $50k per pupil per year.

I read thread after thread on MN about people making sacrifices in order to give their children a private education, so I guess I’m just curious: Eton and its ilk aside, are private schools just priced more affordably in the UK?

Varies, £12k for private day secondary here, a few are cheaper eg belonging to religious groups and public schools are much more especially if they board. Though full boarding is "only" the equivalent of $50k approx!

Local Montessori primary is £8000 per year - only googled out if curiosity/to see if it was cheaper than nursery (It is before the 30 free hours get introduced!)

I'm in Edinburgh and I've just checked and my son's school's fees are £15k for senior. He left a couple of years ago and I don't think they've gone up much in the interim.

The one Local to here ( South) is £33k pa

I have 3 in secondary and it's 18k each for day

London is £18-28k as we are looking now. Boarding is up to £40k+. I live 70 miles outside London and pay £15,000 a year. Secondary is slightly more than primary.

Senior school just over £21k day fees before 3xams ,extras etc.

Boarding £33k plus exams, extras etc.

South East. DD 17 = £12,000/term (weekly boarder)

DD 13 = £6,500/term, day pupil.

My two are in private prep school in the East of England - it’s about £11k a year I think rising to about £14k as they get older

Round here £10-15,000 for prep and £25-30,000 for age 13+

£20-25k here for secondary. Big difference to other parts of the country where £12k-15k is still perfectly possible for good day schools

Sorry. That was boarding.

South Wales.... most are around £10-12k for primary and up to £15k for secondary

But earnings in NYC are quite high aren’t they? My aunt was a teacher in NYC at the same level of seniority as me. My full time wage would be close to £40k hers was over $100k so close to double (£78k) We both worked in state schools.

For context, I’m in the Middle East and pay around £10k a year for my 4 year old to go to a British curriculum private school.
