This appears to be doing the rounds with some Service families, and yet others haven't seen or heard anything of this NAO survey:

Subject: EDUCATING CHILDREN OF SERVICE CHILDREN INQUIRY
Importance: High
Dear Colleague,
A number of members leading HMC boarding schools will be educating children of service personnel. They also know that the Continuity of Education Allowance budget at the MOD has been under some scrutiny. To this end the National Audit Office (NAO) has launched a survey of service personnel, with a closing date of 28 February, to assess the effectiveness of the education their children experience at boarding school.
BSA and SBSA have already submitted general responses but as the NAO is mainly seeking responses from service parents and pupils over the age of 16 colleagues may wish to encourage their service families to respond, hopefully in support of the educational provision these children receive. We may thereby be able to defend the funds put aside for this purpose and continue to welcome military families into our schools. The link to the consultation exercise, for forwarding to service families and to pupils, is

Many thanks.
