IGCSEs don't count towards Attainment 8, so it understates many independent schools.

    The tuition fees at MPW depend on the number and level of the courses being studied. We do not have a fixed fee per year group and, indeed, many students at MPW combine courses across year groups. The basic fee for full-time students for 2026-2027 is £12,325 per term at both A level and GCSE.* (p. 1)
