Support for military families
Rugby School understands the unique challenges of military life, including frequent relocations, extended deployments and periods of family separation.
Across Rugby School Group, we are proud to support military families by offering a boarding place where children feel secure, supported and able to thrive.
From our prep schools through to Rugby School, students benefit from exceptional boarding, enriching opportunities and a values‑driven education rooted in tradition and character.
Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA)
To support military families, Rugby School Group provides an enhanced Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) pathway for pupils attending the following UK schools within the Rugby School Group:
- Bilton Grange
- Aysgarth School
- Old Buckenham Hall
- Beaudesert Park School
- Rugby School (for pupils progressing from one of our prep schools)
As part of this enhanced pathway, families eligible for CEA will pay only 10% of the full boarding fees.
Rugby School Group covers the remaining cost, helping to ensure military families can access a stable and continuous boarding education throughout their child’s school journey.
Families joining Rugby School directly remain eligible through the standard CEA scheme.
A joined‑up journey from prep to senior
Children joining one of our prep schools as military families benefit from a:
- Consistent educational pathway
- Nurturing boarding environment
- Seamless transition to Rugby School
- Community that understands and supports military life
