Financial Support for Pupils

Boarding Education

If my child attends a boarding school am I entitled to any benefits?

Other than for pupils with Special Educational Needs, help with boarding education is given only in very exceptional circumstances. In such cases, means-tested assistance is given towards the cost of boarding at Queen Elizabeth Community College in Crediton.

Where can I get more information about boarding education benefits?
