Bright World is accredited by AEGIS, the Association of Education Guardians for International Students since 2006. Bright World has won the ST Secondary Award for Guardianship Organisation for 4 years running in recognition of its excellent service and reputation.
why do I need a guardian?
The majority of UK boarding schools require all overseas pupils to have a UK guardian. A guardian should be a responsible adult living in the UK who can be there in an emergency situation on behalf of parents.
For those parents who do not have a family friend to act as guardian, then they have the opportunity of choosing a UK Guardianship Organisation such as Bright World to act in Loco Parentis for their child.
This not only satisfies the Boarding School requirements but also the UKVI guidelines and keeps international students safe while they are not in school and are unaccompanied.
safe and well considered host family accommodation
From time to time, students may need to leave school unexpectedly, their flight may be cancelled leaving a gap once the school has closed, they need to leave school during some leave weekends (exeats) and half term holidays. Bright World can offer safe and secure host family accommodation during these planned and unexpected events.
