Visa regulations for children studying in the UK mean that all overseas students must have an appointed UK guardian. Many schools also insist that overseas students have an appointed UK guardian who can act on behalf of the parents in an emergency situation. College Guardians recognises that many children over the age of 16 wish to have a certain level of independence and our 6th Form Premium Service reflects this ethos, ensuring that you as a parent have peace of mind that in an emergency your child will have someone to turn to, while at the same time allowing your child a certain degree of independence. It is cost effective and allows flexibility to add additional services that you may require on an ad hoc basis.

College Guardians 6th Form Premium Service includes:

Initial introductory meeting when your child arrives at school in the UK or at the beginning of the school year
Introduction to your child’s host family where possible
A termly visit to your child’s school and a meeting with your child. Additional visits will be charged at £50 per visit ( plus travel expenses); However it should be noted that our staff will often visit schools more regularly than this on an ad hoc basic and will always take these opportunities to meet your child informally.
Regular email and telephone contact with the student/parent/school
Assistance with arranging interviews / meetings with chosen university if required.
24 hour on call emergency service during term time including leaveout/ exeat weekends and half term holidays.
