    Catching up with our alumni: Niamh’s journey after King’s InterHigh

    By King's InterHigh

    Niamh first joined our school community in 2017, studying with us all the way through to her IGCSEs. After achieving impressive results (including a 9-8 in Double Science, 8s in Geography and History, and a 7 in German), Niamh went on to forge her own path to her dream of working in fashion.

    We chatted with Niamh to learn more about what she gained from online learning and what she’s up to now..

     What first led your family to choose King’s InterHigh?

    I had difficulties in mainstream education. Working online helped to build back up my confidence and retain my love of learning.

     Do you have a highlight from your time at King’s InterHigh?

    I will always remember how much I loved my geography classes.

    Any favourite memories with teachers?: My incredible geography teacher and how much fun she made learning — especially the 'design your own plant' project.

     How did studying with us help prepare you for your next steps after school?

    Studying with King's InterHigh helped me gain good results in a wider range of subjects.

     Once you left King’s InterHigh, what were your next steps?

    I took a gap year to decide on my options, then I did a year-long fashion course online. I then applied to university to study fashion.

     And where are you now?

    Currently, I have just finished my second year on the Fashion Atelier and Tailoring course at the University for the Creative Arts. This summer, I am interning at Miss Sohee Couture. Next year, I will do a year in industry interning at another couture house in London, before moving onto my final year of my degree.

     What advice would you give to current or future King’s InterHigh students?

    To believe in and be true to yourself. There is no right way to live life other than the way that makes you happy, so try hard so you can live your dreams.

    VAT charges explained

    The UK Government has implemented a policy to charge VAT on independent schools taking effect from the 1st of January 2025. This VAT charge is payable by families who are based in, or access, King’s InterHigh from the UK. This change does not impact families who are based outside the UK and access King’s InterHigh from another country.

    We understand the significant financial commitment you make in choosing our online school as well as how important it is to be able to financially plan. After careful review of the details of the legislation, we will support parents by absorbing costs ourselves, so that a slower phasing in of this unwelcome change reduces its financial impact on families.

    For the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year (starting September 2024), Inspired Education Group will absorb much of the 20% VAT charge. For the Spring and Summer terms when the 20% VAT will now apply, we will only pass on 8.5% to families, taking up the difference ourselves.

    To further support families with the financial implications of this change in government policy, for the 2025-2026 academic year (starting in September 2025) there will be no inflationary tuition fee increases, and that Inspired Education Group will continue to absorb costs to limit the increase to 8.5% for that academic year. Overall, this will mean we have phased in 17% of the 20% VAT cost over two years to avoid sudden increases for families and have not increased tuition fees.

    King’s InterHigh is committed to offering competitive fees and accessible, high-quality independent education, along with the unique benefits of online learning. We are pleased that through careful cost control and the benefits of being part of Inspired, the leading global group of premium schools, we can significantly reduce the financial effect on families due to this change in UK VAT policy.
