Understanding the impact of Government school fees policy for SP with children using private schools
The British Army recognises the unique circumstances faced by our serving personnel and that frequent mobility can disrupt children’s education. The Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) helps by providing the children of serving personnel with a stable education that wouldn’t otherwise be available in the state-maintained school sector. The Army are working closely with the Army Families Federation (AFF) to better understand the full impact of the removal of the VAT exemption on independent schools from 1 January 2025.
Recognising not only CEA claimants but many other Service families who depend on private schools to provide stability to their children whilst they meet the day to day demands of Service life, and those who may consider this in the future, this survey is designed to provide all SP with the opportunity to submit their views on the matter.
The survey should take no more than 4 minutes to complete.
SP and Families are warmly encouraged to complete this short poll which can be found here: School Fees Poll (mod.uk) . The survey closes at midnight on Monday 23 September 2024.
