It is a condition of entry to Buckswood School that children without a parent resident in the UK must delegate parental responsibility to a suitable local Guardian.
A Guardian or Guardian Agency must be appointed before an international student enters Buckswood School, irrelevant of the age of the student. The selection of a Guardian is the parent’s responsibility.
Parents who reside outside of the UK are expected to complete our Guardian Form which provides the school with full details of the Guardian before the arrival of the student to the school
While a child is with his/her Guardian, the parent – not the school – is responsible for his/her welfare. Buckswood students often use St. George’s Guardians, a highly recommended local guardian company – details of which can be found here: stg-guardians.co.uk
AEGIS (Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) can provide you with a list of reliable local guardianship agencies, as necessary. www.aegisuk.net
Parents are expected to inform the school if there are any changes to any details relating to the Guardian.
