Military Families at Ampleforth

At Ampleforth College we understand the importance of a stable and consistent education for the children of serving families. We are proud to support parents who move regularly due to professional commitments, including those who receive the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA). 

A Stable Home for Learning

Students who join Ampleforth benefit from a strong sense of community, a rich co-curricular life, and a setting where individual strengths are recognised and encouraged. Ampleforth provides a secure and supportive environment that allows pupils to flourish academically, socially, personally, and spiritually, even when family life involves regular changes of location.

Eligibility and Support

Families who are eligible for the Continuity of Education Allowance can apply it toward the cost of boarding at Ampleforth. Our Admissions team is experienced in guiding parents through this process and can offer personalised support at every stage. We work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition for pupils joining the school.

What Ampleforth Offers CEA Families

  • Strong Pastoral Care – Every child is supported by a dedicated House team who work with parents to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the year.
  • Academic Continuity – Your child can progress through a full educational journey with no interruption to their learning experience, even when your own circumstances may change.
  • A Rich Boarding Life – Boarding at Ampleforth offers opportunities for personal growth, friendship, leadership, and meaningful involvement in the full life of the College.
  • Practical Guidance – Our Admissions and Finance teams can explain how the Continuity of Education Allowance works in practice and are available to answer any questions you may have.
