Our Educational School Guardianship Programme provides first-rate care for pupils so they can focus on academic success
All parents want to know that their children will be cared for while living and studying in a foreign country. UK Guardianship has an experienced team that will nurture students in our care to ensure they can focus on their studies and be there for emergencies when required.
- The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) issues student visas and requires a legal guardian to be responsible for the student’s wellbeing.
- Most UK schools require that students whose families live overseas have a legal guardian living in the UK to act on their behalf during term time and when the school is closed.
UKG has full AEGIS accreditation and membership with the BSA (Boarding Schools Association). We aim to ensure students obtain the best academic results while providing a secure and caring environment during their stay in the UK. Our UK boarding school guardianship programme ensures all children in our care are safe, happy and achieving their best results both in and out of school.
Responsibilities of Our Educational Guardians
The core responsibilities of our educational guardians will include:
- Acting on behalf of parents in situations where they are unable to.
- Looking after a student’s welfare in the UK.
- Providing a host family for students to stay with during half-term and fixed exeat weekends when school is closed.
- Helping students arrange travel both in the UK (taxi, train or bus) and back home (flight bookings and transfers).
- Helping students in emergencies (e.g. illness, lost passport).
- Being available for students anytime, particularly if they are worried about school, friends, their family, or the host family).
Our host families are carefully selected and thoroughly inspected. Although they are required to protect, care for and provide meals and lodging, a student’s guardianship in the UK remains with UKG at all times.
