What is the plan after signing the petition? Are we all cancelling the DD? 140 people circa is a lot, it is a matter of being united and not being selfish with our privileges. We all expected 4-5% fee increase but what happened is unreasonable and poorly communicated.

And if inflation was dropping into negative territory, I’m pretty sure school fees wouldn’t drop. These increases compounded over the next five years at this rate would price out even the upper middle class - what’s the plan here, less pupils paying more rather than more pupils paying less?

For my daughter’s year this increase looks around 15%. The school my other daughter goes to are increasing by 5.5%. Just too high in the current climate and assumes we can all just find another few thousand £s per year to pay this increase at short notice. Badly thought out and poorly messaged by The Abbey leadership team

When other private schools have increased around 5% then why Abbey has to increase fee to 10%. How Abbey is different to other private schools in terms of expenditure. All private schools provide same/similar facilities. I would strongly insist to revise the fee increase otherwise parents might have to find other options if they can not afford this abnormal fee hike.

Having two kids and with rising inflation but no salary increases, it is quite a big increase. Probably the school needs to look at initiating a cost cutting initiative to manage the expenses than charging parents such a big increase.

It is a direct challenge for all parents who are eating crumbs so their kids can get better education. This increase will force most of us to look for alternative option of education for our children.

Reduce the increments.

The increase rate are totally unacceptable which is much higher than the inflation
