Avon House Preparatory School, a historic East London private school serving kids from age three to Year Six, is closing its doors for good after a century of operation — and it’s all due to crushing financial pressure. With tuition nearing £18,000 annually and the looming January 2025 VAT hike on private school fees, even desperate efforts to find investors or merge couldn’t save it. Rising costs for National Insurance and pensions sealed the fate of this beloved institution, known for its family-like atmosphere and alumni who’ve gone on to great things. Families now scramble to find new schools as Avon House shuts down immediately — a heartbreaking end to a legacy that once nurtured generations.
