Education
Schools (Age 4 - 16)
Applications for schooling must be made by a parent or legal guardian once the family have arrived in the UK. Schools must go through formal processes and paperwork that is not possible before the child and family have a local address. Schools will ask for formal Home Office documentation, a letter from the host family confirming the family is resident with them, alongside a council tax bill and another utility bill.
