Further education and school fees planning

Day and boarding fees at independent schools have for many years been rising at annual rates well above inflation. As education is such a long-term commitment, it is crucial to make adequate provision to take account of future fee increases and ensure that funding arrangements will stay the course.

With early planning, there is greater opportunity to provide for funds to be available when fees fall due. Our advisers have a wealth of experience in tailoring personal investment schemes for parents, grandparents and the wider family, designed to provide funds to cover these costs. Park Row can probably still help, even if education is imminent or already under way.

Tuition fees and other costs mean that, even if children are educated in the state sector until the age of 18, some planning is advisable to finance three or more years at university. Again, Park Row advisers can identify investment products to deal with the situation.
