Concorde International
Guardianships

Concorde International Guardianships provides quality care and service to international students who are attending schools in the UK. All overseas students studying in the UK must have an officially appointed legal Guardian. This is a requirement of the Children’s Acts of 1980 and 1989 for all children receiving full time education for more than 12 weeks.

All of our guardian families are also teachers for Concorde International Home Language Tuition. We have a network of families across the UK so can provide a family close to the chosen school to offer full care and responsibility.

We allocate one family to each student to have full responsibility for the welfare and care of the student for the whole period of their studies in the UK.

We charge one single fee per school term which includes the cost of the following :

  1. Placement of the student into one of our carefully selected partner schools or liasing entry with a school arranged by the agent or the student.
  2. Allocation of guardian family to the student.
  3. Arranging the initial selection interview for the student at the school accompanied by the prospective guardian family.
  4. To assist and approve the purchase of all school uniforms and sports and musical equipment as required by the school and the student and approved by the parents. The cost of all purchases from the school will be paid directly by the parents with the school fees.
  5. Registering with a local doctor and dentist and arranging any medical or dental appointments as required.
  6. Assistance in opening a UK bank account for the student.
  7. Police registration at the local police station if required.
  8. Preparation of legal and financial documents for guardianship.
  9. Constant communication between our head office and the chosen guardian with the school.
  10. Arranging accommodation with the guardian families during school holidays and exeat weekends as required.
  11. Visits to the school by the guardian as required at the request of the school or the student’s parents.
  12. Arranging visits to the school for the parents.
  13. Arranging air tickets and flights for the student to and from the UK if required.
  14. Arranging for any extensions of visas if required.
