    Penny Alston

    Head of Primary School

    As our Head of Key Stage 2, Dr. Penny Alston is committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for students in Years 3 to 6, aged seven to 11. She brings with her over 30 years of experience teaching and leading schools around the world. To ensure students get the best primary school experience, she is constantly pursuing new growth and development opportunities, and has even recently earned her PhD in curriculum studies and school management.

    Previously serving as Preparatory School Headmistress at our fellow Inspired school, Reddam House Umhlanga, she joined King’s InterHigh in 2021 because our school’s philosophy resonates deeply with her passion for whole child development. She particularly enjoys bringing innovative technologies and new ideas to the classroom to engage students and provide them with the best education.

    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.
