​British boarding schools require international students whose parents live abroad to have an Educational Guardian based in the UK. Appointed by the parents, this responsible adult acts as the school's regular point of contact and is expected to take an active interest in the student's wellbeing, stepping in 'in loco parentis' during emergencies.
For many international families, a guardian becomes their trusted representative in the UK, providing vital support and advice during emergencies.Â
Our Role as Your Child's GuardianÂ
As your child's Educational Guardians, our priority is to ensure they are safe, supported, and well cared for during their time at a UK boarding school. Our guardianship service includes:
• Communication and liaison between the school, parents and student
• Regular school visits to ensure your child feels safe, happy and settled
• Attendance at parents/teachers meetings and key school events on your behalf
• Host family arrangements for exeat weekends, half term and holidays
• Transport coordination with carefully selected, trusted drivers
• 24/7 emergency contact for parents and students
• Advocacy for your child's welfare, rights and best interestsÂ
