For most individuals, school serves as a fundamental setting for acquiring knowledge. The initial years of our formative education are spent absorbing information about the world, often accompanied by a stream of complaints. As we transition into our twenties, a realization dawns upon us – the eagerness to immerse ourselves in learning endeavors that captivate our interest, devoid of repercussions.
Some parents take an extra stride in ensuring their children receive a top-tier education. Within the realm of private education, significant sums are invested by parents to grant their offspring access to unparalleled mathematical education, often leading to a state of disengagement.
The [ppp1] keeps a record of these educational establishments and recently unveiled a roster featuring the most extravagant private schools in the [ppp2]. Brace yourself: the sheer abundance of financial resources available for such endeavors may evoke a sense of disbelief.
Contrary to expectations, the most exorbitant institution is not Eton or Harrow. While they secure positions within the top ten, Concord College, a co-educational boarding school located near Shrewsbury, claims the top spot. With fees amounting to £17,800 per term, totaling £53,400 annually, its cost surpasses the average annual income of a British citizen by over £20,000.
Securing the runner-up position is Brighton College, demanding £52,560 per year for a sixth-form boarding student, followed closely by Sevenoaks School at £50,747.
The financial investment is substantial, but what does it entail? According to Concord College, small class sizes averaging around 12 students and a faculty comprising highly qualified educators contribute to an unparalleled educational experience. Their emphasis on creating a ‘home away from home’ environment ensures that boarding students acclimate comfortably.
The remaining institutions on the list include Harrow in fifth place, charging £50,550 annually per child, and Eton in sixth place, with termly fees amounting to £16,666 – a figure remarkably close to the former residence of Boris Johnson. Notably, Winchester College, associated with Rishi Sunak, also secures a position on the list, offering its services at a relatively modest £49,152 per year.
