Further information about school fees
We understand the current budget pressures faced by Local Authorities and self-funding families. As More House School is a not-for-profit organisation, our business model allows us to offer outstanding value for money. Furthermore, while many specialist schools charge additional fees for therapy and literacy support, these services are included within our core costs. According to a recent Freedom of Information (FOI) request, we remain in the lowest 30% of independent school fees in the south of the UK.

Welcoming Forces Families
Boarding is at the heart of our school community and is available to pupils aged 10 and up. Many choose full (termly) boarding and stay at school seven days a week, leaving only for Exeat weekends (all boarders go home for the weekend once each half-term) and school holidays. Termly boarders experience the full benefit of our bespoke and transformative boarding provision.
Our boarding community is a trusted home-from-home for families in the Armed Forces, offering stability, continuity of education, a strong pastoral network and specialist SEND expertise.

Funding support for Forces Families
The MoD may support boarding school fees for eligible personnel through the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA). The CEA typically contributes towards boarding school fees, with families also paying a contribution. The allowance helps to ensure children can remain in one school despite changes in their family’s location.
Families should check regulations to see whether they are eligible. For full eligibility details, families should refer to official MoD policy/guidance or speak with their unit administrative office.
The Continuity Education Advisory Service (CEAS) provides information and advice to Forces families in all three services and eligible MoD civilians regarding education for their children in the UK. Visit the CEAS website to find out more: https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/the-childrens-education-advisory-service-ceas
