Have a spare £50k lying around? These are officially the UK’s most beautiful private schools

For most people, the reality of school is graffiti on the toilet doors and a single working glue stick in every classroom because the lids mysteriously went missing for the rest of them.

But for the BOUJEE people, the rahs in training who actively insist they don’t vote Conservative despite owning three siggie rings with their family crest, forking out £50k a year for private school means they end up learning year nine Geography in a literal CASTLE.

High society mag Tatler has named the six most “architecturally beautiful” private schools in the UK and honestly, I’m wowing at how incredible some of these are.

Topping the list of the most beautiful private schools in the UK is Stowe School in Buckingham. It might set you back £46,70 a year but some of its famous alumni include Richard Branson and Henry Cavill.

So, these are officially the most beautiful private schools in the UK, if you fancy splashing your spare £50k:
