VAT on fees

We understand that VAT on school fees is a key concern for families, at WGS we are committed to supporting your financial planning. 

From January 2025, VAT will not be added to fees. Instead, WGS will temporarily absorb the VAT by discounting base fees, ensuring the total cost to you remains unchanged at the 2024/2025 published rates below. This means there will be no increase in your fees. We will continue to keep you updated on any future changes.
