Inspired Learning Group has announced the closures of Park Hill Preparatory School and Nursery and Bishop Challoner School, partly attributing this decision to Labour's confirmation of VAT on school fees. As an alternative, pupils from Park Hill will transition to the nearby Westbury House School, enhancing their educational opportunities and social networks. Park Hill will pivot to a full-time nursery. This strategic shift aims to ensure continuity and quality of education, reflecting ILG’s long-term vision amidst declining student numbers at the affected schools.
This decision was made because of the downward trend in pupil numbers at Park Hill, due in part to the introduction of VAT on school fees. The benefit of being in a private group is that we can protect both settings, and ensure the continuity and quality of education for our children, who will always remain our top priority.
The move will provide pupils with greater opportunities for social development, a wider friendship network and an expanded extracurricular programme including sport, music and drama.
