Recently, many people have asked about British private schools, studying abroad after the college entrance examination and 25 years of master's application are the hottest topics in the current study abroad circle, but many parents still hope to let their children have an advantage earlier, and have set their goals on British private schools, and have greater opportunities to apply for prestigious schools such as Oxbridge and IC in the future.
Anyone who has studied abroad in the UK knows that the cost of private schools is getting higher and higher, and if Labour's plan to impose VAT (similar to value-added tax) on private school accommodation fees is implemented, private school fees will be further and significantly increased. There will also be fewer and fewer families who can afford this high tuition fee, especially international students.
Therefore, everyone is very concerned about the scholarship of private schools. It just so happened that Eton College announced the King's Scholarship list, and Winchester College also announced the latest scholarship list for 2024. Today, let's take a look at the background of the children who won the scholarship and which preparatory primary schools they come from.
