Military Families

Lucton has a long history of welcoming children of forces families and, as such, we recognise the importance of stability in the lives of children whose parents may be called away or deployed with minimum notice. We currently have over 20 forces children at Lucton covering a broad age range.

We amend our fees in line with the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA), meaning that eligible families pay no more than 10% of fees for boarding when linked to the CEA. For forces families that may not be eligible for CEA funding, you are welcome to apply for a means-tested bursary. For further information please contact a member of the admissions team.

We are proud to offer 10% off day fees for all children of serving HM Forces personnel.
