Under British Law (the Children
Acts 1980 and 1989) each child receiving full time education
for more than 12 weeks must have a legally appointed British
guardian. Most independent schools and colleges now insist that
pupils whose parents are living overseas must have a guardian
for practical and legal reasons. The guardian, acting in " loco
parentis" on behalf of the parents, will be responsible
for the child and make decisions regarding emergency situations
(for example, medical treatment), if required.
In this way Windsor Education offers both professional and personal
guardianship service for students coming from outside Great Britain.
Our aim is to provide the parents with secure and caring environment
for their children. We deal with all aspects of a child's well-being,
maintaining constant support and expert guidance while he or
she is away from home. This constant support means that you and
your child always have someone to turn to with any problem, large
or small.
We welcome boys and girls to Britain, help them settle here
happily, supervise their academic and social progress being personally
involved with each student in our care. For every child we select
a host family who provides a welcoming family atmosphere during
half-term breaks, exeat week-ends, school holidays. We closely
liaise with the school, the family and the pupil's parents. Windsor
