Registration of Students from Overseas
Travelling to the UK The advice from the UK Visas and Immigration is that all students should carry with them, on their return to the UK, letters of consent from their parents showing that the student is permitted to travel independently back to their boarding school. Travelling outside the UK
If you are travelling outside the UK on a holiday, then you must ensure that you have organised any necessary visa applications. However, if this is a College related trip we will offer assistance. You have received separate information regarding obtaining a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
If the UK Entry Clearance vignette in your passport (or on your BRP) contains the statement “The holder is also required to register at once with the police” or “Register with police within seven days” you should register within seven days of your arrival. We will help you with this and organise a visit to the Overseas Visitors Registration Offices near London Bridge. If you arrive into
the UK during the summer holidays you will need to make your own arrangements. To complete this registration process you will require two passport sized photographs and copies of your passport and visa/BRP, as well as the originals. You will also require £32. Please ensure you bring passport photographs with you when you arrive at the College. You are responsible for ensuring that you update any changes to your details/place of residence, in most cases this would only be necessary once you start university. Photocopies of your Passports and Visas will be taken and held in your files at school. The advice from the UK Border Agency is that all students should carry with them, on their return to the UK, letters of consent from their parents showing that the student is permitted to travel independently back to their boarding school. If you are travelling outside the UK on a holiday, then you must ensure that you have organised any necessary Visa applications. However, if this is a College related trip we will offer assistance.
Guardians
A guardian must be nominated for every boy whose parents live outside the UK. The guardian must be prepared to oversee arrangements for travel, to represent the parents if the need arises during term time, and to act ‘in loco parentis’ during holidays if required, when the boarding house is closed.
Whilst at school you are required to have a guardian even if you are 18 years old.
