Foreign Nationals

 

Foreign national children residing in the UK normally have the right to attend schools in England which are:

  • state-funded
  • independent

To lawfully enter the country to access a school, foreign national children residing outside the UK will typically need either:

  • right of abode
  • an immigration status which otherwise permits them to enter the UK to study at a school.

 

Checking eligibility for a school place

Parents of foreign national children are responsible for checking that their children have a right to study at a school under the UK entry conditions. They should do this before applying for a place.

It is not the role of state-funded schools or local authorities to ask for proof of eligibility before offering a place.

If foreign nationals outside the UK want to enter the UK to study at an independent school with a licensed student sponsor, they should contact the school directly. If it accepts the application, it will send them a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). Parents will need a CAS before applying for their child’s visa. They cannot enter to study at schools which are not licensed student sponsors.

Parents can find more information on gov.uk - visas and immigration.

 

Parents are reminded to ensure their child holds the correct entry visa before making a school application. If a school or the local authority has concerns about a particular child’s immigration status they will refer the case to the Home Office.
