Boarding School Guardianship

UK boarding schools require international students under 18 to have a guardian based in the UK. We act in that role for families living overseas, and are the school's local point of contact throughout the school year.

What guardianship covers

  • A named guardian and a UK point of contact for the school
  • Vetted host family accommodation for exeats, half terms and holidays
  • Transfers between the school, the host family and the airport
  • Attending school events and meetings on the family's behalf where needed
  • Support if a student is unwell or an urgent situation arises

Safeguarding first

Every host family and member of staff we place a student with is recruited and checked under our child protection and safeguarding policy. Our full policy set is published under Our Policies.
