MILITARY/FCDO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
A number of pupils from HM Forces military families or Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) join Canford each year. They are attracted to the school by the full boarding model, where on average at least 80% of boarders are in school each weekend, excellent academic achievement, a supportive school community of strong pastoral and wellbeing care, a wealth of co-curricular opportunities including an award winning CCF and impressive facilities set within 250 acres of stunning landscaped grounds in beautiful Dorset. A number of our teaching and house staff being ex-military is also reassurance for families that the school has an understanding and awareness of the unique situation that children of HM Forces parents are in.
From September 2026 – Introduction of CEA + 10%
Canford has a long and valued tradition of welcoming military families, who are very much part of the fabric of our boarding community. We understand the demands of service life, and the importance of providing continuity, stability and a strong sense of belonging for young people.
With this in mind, and following careful consideration, we are pleased to confirm that from September 2026, Canford will move to a Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) + 10% model. For further information please scan the QR code below.
