Norfolk House aims to absorb much of the VAT burden and will reduce gross fees by 3% in January 2025 so the overall impact remains controlled; in September 2025 and beyond, fees increase by 3% plus any inflationary cost changes. The Termly Fee is a single sum inclusive of tuition, lunch, swimming (Years 1–6) and the applicable VAT.
