Beat Labour’s VAT tax raid.

Boost your school’s non-fee income to survive the challenges ahead.

American private schools generate, on average, three times as much non-fee income as schools in the United Kingdom.

This builds financial resilience, with diversified revenue streams offering stability in the face of significant market changes.

“Maximising non-fee income is the single best strategy for private schools hoping to survive the VAT crisis.”

Of the 5 or 6 architectural firms that we have worked with in the last 5 years, Kennedy Woods are amongst the very best and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other educational providers.

Mark Dingle
Operations Director
Wishford Education

We found Chris, Tom and the team to be full of ideas, keep well to the brief, respond to critique constructively and importantly to fit well with our way of thinking and doing things.

Vicky Garner
Director
Living Villages Cook School

I highly recommend their services to any school seeking innovative and thoughtful architectural solutions.

For a group of franchise CEO’s who rarely have the opportunity to come together, we were a hard group to please. Tom and the team exceeded all expectations.

Emily Vermont
Director
School of Social Entrepreneurs

I would recommend them to other clients looking for a practice who can apply fresh thinking and dedication to a project.

Neil Kirby
Head of Regeneration
Southwark Council

Finding architects who understand school needs are rare and I despaired - until I met Tom and Chris. From the beginning, they listened to us and guided us as we created our forward-thinking masterplan and rolled out its first phase.

Sandrine Pailasse
Headteacher
St Christopher’s Hampstead

Chris and the team are commercially minded and easy to work with - their focus on delivery, fast turnaround times, and willingness to adapt made them a great architecture and design partner for our first 30 sites.
