Sibling Discounts

A 10% reduction of the school fee is offered for the youngest sibling while three children are attending the school at the same time.

Military and FCDO Families

Old Buckenham Hall has a proud, long-standing tradition of supporting Service and Diplomatic families. In recognition of this commitment, we offer significant financial support and educational stability:

Enhanced Fee Remission (CEA): We are a "10% School," offering enhanced support to families in receipt of the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA). For entry in September 2026 and beyond, eligible families are only required to pay the minimum 10% parental contribution of the published gross full boarding fee.
Military Personnel Discount: For serving personnel not in receipt of CEA, a 20% reduction of the school fee is offered for children of actively-serving military personnel.
The Boarding Pathway to Rugby School: As a member of the Rugby School Group, we offer a seamless boarding pathway for families seeking long-term stability through to age 18. Students attending OBH for at least two years may be eligible to carry their allowance-linked support through to Rugby School.
