a bridge between parent and school

All good boarding schools and colleges in the UK insist on international students, whatever their age, having a guardian.

A guardian represents a student’s parents by caring for the child independently of the school or college, doing everything that a parent would do if they were in the UK. Help with travel to and from the school, checking that the child is happy and settled, talking to teachers and house staff, going to the school parents’ meetings, sports matches or plays, offering a happy and safe home if the child has to leave school for any reason: the guardian is there to help that individual child just like a caring parent.

guardianship for students of all ages

Having a responsible adult separate from the school, to ensure that students are happy and progressing academically, is crucial for the best possible educational experience.

This is particularly important for teenagers who are experiencing pressure from significant exams, as well as exploring their own independence more than ever before.

Regent Guardians provides parents with the reassurance and communication they need to know their child is safe and doing well.

We are here to support you.

The Boarding Schools Association (BSA) and our member schools are looking to work with the best educational guardians and our Certified Guardian Scheme is an assurance of professional quality.

The BSA Certified Guardian Scheme provides assurance to BSA boarding schools that they are dealing with educational guardians who have the highest standards in safeguarding of children, safer recruitment and training of staff and host families, and careful liaison with parents and schools. The scheme is a clear demonstration to BSA boarding schools of the quality and intention of the educational guardians who reach certified status.

“I am delighted that Regent Guardians was one of the first 3 Guardian agencies to secure certification under the new Certified Guardians Scheme.”  Amanda Beck (Director Regent Guardians)

“I know that colleagues who work with Connexcel, Cotswold Guardians and Regent Guardians will agree that they are all excellent and worthy recipients of the very first few places on the scheme. Congratulations to all three and welcome to the BSA family!”  Robin Fletcher (BSA CEO)
