Children in Service families face some big challenges, such as emotional strain due to parents being deployed, frequent house moves and problems with admission into schools.
We have explored these challenges and produced best practice guides looking at ways to support Service children in school.
Supporting Service children in England
Improving the provision of education to Service children in state-maintained schools.
The guides:
- Share examples of good practice from across England and Wales
- Recommend ways in which local authorities, schools and families can improve Service children's experience in education
- Explore the adverse effects on a Service pupil’s well-being
- Provide information on the extra funding available to Service children through the Service Pupil Premium, Education Support Fund and more
