The Armed Forces Education Trust is a charity working for children and young adults whose education has been compromised or put at risk as a result of parents’ past or current service in the UK Armed Forces. The educational grants we give make a difference to young lives, and focus on:
- Reducing the negative impact of mobility and deployment on learning
- Supporting children with additional educational needs
- Enabling smooth transitions between schools and education systems
- Working with schools and communities to support Service children in improving their educational outcomes.
The Trust’s vision is a future where every child from an Armed Forces family achieves their full educational potential, regardless of mobility or circumstance. We believe that by supporting Service children at key transition points, addressing barriers to learning, and empowering families and schools, we can help to reduce educational disadvantage and promote resilience, achievement, and wellbeing.
