It is Abingdon School policy that all students whose parents live abroad, must appoint a UK based guardian. Abingdon School is unable to recommend guardians. However, parents can find details of the BSA Certified Guardians Scheme and the AEGIS Accredited Guardianship Organisations. Guardians should live close enough to school (typically within 90 minutes) for the pupil to visit for weekends away and half terms and on the occasions when the school is closed. The typical role of a guardian would include: transport to and from school and the airport providing accommodation during holidays, including half terms and bank holidays collecting the pupil in case of exclusion from school bridging the gap between term dates and flights to and from home looking after the pupil in the event of illness (in liaison with the School’s medical centre) providing accommodation during any quarantine period and possible periods of self isolation A good guardian will also play an active role in supporting the pupil. For example, attending parents' evenings and other school events. Guardians will be included in correspondence (excluding school fee invoices) unless parents have agreed another arrangement with the school. Further details can be found in the Guardianship guidance notes. Guardians 07 Our focus is on wellbeing
