For eligible families, the Forces’ Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) can help towards the costs of boarding school. The allowance, up to 90% of the school fee, is available for children who start to board in the school year in which they turn 8 years old up to when they turn 18/19 years old. Please note that you must claim before your child reaches Year 12, as new awards are not given to Years 12 and 13.
Stonyhurst provides an additional discount of 20% for any parent in receipt of the Continuous Education Allowance. We also provide a sibling discount of 10% for a second child and 20% for a third.
