Fettes to become a 10% School for Forces Families

Posted: 18th November 2025

We are delighted to announce that from September 2026 Fettes College will become a 10% School, making the fees for HM Forces families equal to the CEA allowance plus 10% of the total fees inclusive of VAT.

We are proud of our long history with HM Forces and these links are as strong today as they ever were.  Many Forces families want their children to board at the same school, and as Fettes is co-educational and caters for children boarding from age 7 -18  siblings can be educated together in this strong family environment.

Fettes College Bursar, Peter Worlledge says “Fettes recognises the significant contribution Forces families add to our community and we remain committed to being the school of choice for them and their children.

“As one of the few remaining full boarding schools with over 70% full boarders, our weekend activities programme is busy and fun.  We also run events for the children of our Forces families to bring them together and encourage them to build a community of shared understanding and support for one another.”

A number of former members of HM Forces work at Fettes and we have an excellent network of current Forces families.

“The care that is taken to treat our children as individuals is something we are very grateful for. Military children need continuity and stability and that is provided for them on every level at Fettes.” Forces Parent
