Do you have many children from military families at Port Regis Preparatory School?
Military families in receipt of CEA pay just 10% of fees. CEA can be complex, but what you pay isn’t. Port Regis has one of the most generous Armed Forces schemes of any Prep School. We offer a fixed and transparent fee to military parents who are in receipt of CEA, who will only ever pay 10% of fees (the full boarding rate), with the school providing a bursary for any shortfall in CEA contribution. What this means in the simplest terms, is that your children can experience all the magic of Port Regis at a cost proportionate to the full fees for military families.
