Academic Year 2025-26
For the 2025-2026 academic year, St Anthony’s will continue to absorb the majority of the impact of the new VAT policy; we will only pass on 8.5% of the 20% VAT charge to parents and there will be no underlying inflationary tuition fee increases.
Junior House £8,570 per term*
Senior House £8,840 per term*
Deposit (on acceptance of place) £2,900
*Inclusive of VAT.
We are pleased to confirm to families that nursery school provision is excluded from this change in government policy, and that VAT will not be charged to parents of nursery children at St Anthony’s.
Early Years Funding
St Anthony’s is proud of its commitment to give every pupil in our care the best start in life. Our Nursery opened in September 2023 and, educates children from 2 to 4 years of age.
We are a registered provider under the Early Education Funding for eligible 3 and 4 year olds and offers up to 15 hours of free entitlement funding per week. Within each Nursery session, three hours (Mornings from 9:00 to 12:00) will be provided as Early Years Free Entitlement funding to those children who qualify for the Early Years Free Entitlement. The additional hours for each session in excess of the Early Years Free Entitlement will be charged at the normal rate (see Fees Per Term, below).
In addition, we are a registered provider under the Early Education Funding for eligible working parents of 2-year old children and offer 15 hours entitlement per week, and for eligible working parents of 3-4 year old children and offer the additional 15 hours entitlement per week.
If you have any questions regarding the scheme, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team at finance@stanthonysprep.co.uk.
Is my Child Eligible for the Early Years Free Entitlement?
3-4 year old children can claim their 15 funded hours at St Anthony’s School from the term after their third birthday. This means that if a child turns 3 years old, mid-way through the term, they will only qualify for funding, the following term. For clarity, please see below, for eligibility regarding birth month.
- A child born between 1st April and 31st August (inclusive) will be eligible from the start of the Autumn Term from the 3rd birthday.
- A child born between 1st September and 31st December (inclusive) will be eligible from the start of the Spring Term from the 3rd birthday.
- A child born between 1st January and 31st March (inclusive) will be eligible from the start of the Summer Term from the 3rd birthday.
New parents must complete a Parent Declaration form in respect of any child for whom the Early Years Free Entitlement is being claimed. Click here to access the form.
In order to qualify for Early Education funding a child must be attending for a minimum of five morning Nursery sessions each week.
