It is the responsibility of parents to ensure their child has the correct entry Visa for the UK. Information can be obtained by visiting gov.uk/child-study-visa or ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk Any student who is a citizen of a country outside the UK and Ireland, and who wishes to study in the UK for a period of more than six months, requires a visa to study in the UK. This includes EEA students who arrive in the UK after 1 January 2021. Abingdon School has a licence to sponsor Child Student Visa students. Where a student is sponsored to obtain a Child Student Visa, it is a policy of Abingdon School that the student must remain a full boarder for the duration of their time at Abingdon. Abingdon School makes every effort to make this process as easy as possible, working with an immigration lawyer who manages the visa process throughout. Please note that if a student is studying in the UK on a Child Student Visa, they are required by the UK Home Office to provide precise details of movements during weekends away and holidays, including flight details and the address at which they will be staying. Where a student is not sponsored, Abingdon School will request evidence of the student’s right to study in the UK before the student starts at school. This could be by virtue of a parent’s visa or under the EU settlement scheme. Further information may be obtained from the UK Government Visa and Immigration. Visas 08
