A boarding school has launched a new scheme to support children from armed forces families.

Beeston Hall School will now offer boarding at just 10pc of full fees for eligible pupils.

Designed to provide stability and continuity for children who often face frequent relocations and deployments, the scheme aims to offer a "home away from home."

Fred de Falbe, headmaster at Beeston Hall, said: "We are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to military families who will be joining a close community which values the location and its people with a wonderfully inclusive approach."

The offer is intended to make boarding more affordable and accessible for families serving in the British armed forces, ensuring their children receive consistent education during periods of transition.

Mr de Falbe said he looks forward to welcoming military families "from far and wide."

Beeston Hall is part of the Radley Schools Group, which includes eight schools and supports more than 2,300 pupils across the UK.
