It depends. The cost of completing your twelfth grade (Sixth Form) in England varies widely based on the type of school and whether you are a UK or international student.

- State Schools: Free for UK and EU students; not typically available to international students.
- Independent (Private) Schools: Tuition ranges from £18,000 - £30,000/year (plus extra costs).
- Sixth Form Colleges: Some charge fees for international students; costs can be similar to private schools.
- Boarding Schools: Combined fees can reach £35,000 - £55,000/year.

£10,000/year is below typical tuition for private or boarding schools. Costs are higher in London and the South East. Fees are subject to change, especially with the 20% VAT on private school fees from January 2025.
