For London, a realistic annual day-fee budget is about £32,000 per child at senior level, with most families landing between roughly £29,000 and £34,000; on a broader comparable basis, the median sits just under $37,000, with an interquartile range of about $33,000 to $42,000. If you are budgeting for a five-year posting, note that median citywide fee inflation has been running at 10.1% a year, which makes today’s numbers a poor guide to total outlay by the end of the assignment. The market is overwhelmingly British in practice: 36 schools offer that route, against 4 IB, 2 French, 1 American and 1 BTEC. Admissions pressure is currently rated Low, with 4 of 23 assessed schools constrained and 4 schools reporting waitlists.
