Word of the week

Guardian

This is the official contact person in the UK that international pupils must list with their school. Almost all boarding schools require one – a reliable point of contact in case of emergencies, Exeat weekends, or whenever short-term care outside school is needed.

This can either be a trusted individual living in the UK (over 25 and not a student) or a professional guardian agency. Schools normally expect 24/7 availability and will ask for official proof of guardianship before term starts.
