Kingsley School Devon is an approved school for the Continuity of Education Allowance. We welcome children of Service families warmly, and we understand what it means to move schools, to settle quickly, and to need a community that wraps around your child from day one.
Contact Melanie GrayThe Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) is a financial benefit available to Service personnel to help fund boarding school education for their children. It is designed to provide stability and continuity for children whose families are subject to frequent postings.
As an approved CEA school, Kingsley can receive CEA funding directly. Families should contact the Joint Personnel Administration Centre (JPAC) to confirm their eligibility and begin the application process. Our admissions team is happy to guide you through the paperwork.
Our boarding houses are genuine communities. Service children settle quickly because Kingsley's warm, family ethos wraps around every new student from their very first day.
The North Devon coast, Surf Academy, and Outdoor Education pathway build the resilience, self-reliance and adaptability that Service families value deeply.
30% of GCSEs graded 7–9. A third of A-levels at A or A*. University destinations include leading UK and international institutions.
