Providing independent and trusted boarding school advice for HM Forces Families
Choosing the right boarding school can feel overwhelming, particularly when military life brings regular postings, deployments and uncertainty.
We’re proud to work in partnership with Military Boarding Schools, combining Claire Calder’s first-hand experience of military life and expert knowledge of UK boarding schools with one of the UK’s leading online resources for military families considering boarding education.
Together, we’re helping HM Forces families find the boarding school where their children will thrive.

Advice from someone who understands military life
Meet Claire
Claire understands military life because she’s lived it. As the wife of a British Army officer for 27 years, Claire experienced numerous postings across the UK and overseas, including Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. Her own two children boarded from the age of eight, giving her a genuine understanding of the questions, decisions and emotions Forces families face when choosing a school.
Drawing on years of first-hand experience visiting and assessing boarding schools across the UK, Claire’s advice is based on genuine knowledge rather than prospectuses or league tables.
