Forces Families
From wonder to whole person education
Forces Families pay no more than 10% of the gross full boarding fee at Packwood
Packwood is pleased to support the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) Scheme provided by the Ministry of Defence through a highly generous Forces’ Bursary.
This arrangement ensures that parents who are eligible for the CEA are responsible for no more than 10% of the gross full boarding fees, with the remaining amount being covered by Packwood as part of the Forces’ Bursary, supplemented by the financial assistance received from the Continuity of Education Allowance.
