WHY UK GUARDIANS?
"In the heart of the New forest and only minutes from the wonderful coastal beaches"
UK Guardians was established in 2012 by Helen Herridge offering a Guardianship service to a small number of students from China.
A Little Bit About Us
Having over 15 years’ experience of working for schools and colleges in the UK as an International Education Student Supporter and with her passion for excellence and attention to detail the company has grown considerably due to the recommendation from all she works with, UK Guardians is now a team of like minded staff, providing an outstanding service to all our students, schools, parents and partners.
Within the growth of UK Guardians, we are now a leading provider of Work Placements through the Erasmus + programme currently for Switzerland and Germany and offer our own Summer Camps throughout July and August. We have dedicated members of staff for each area to ensure all we work with are offered a unique service.
We are fully committed to:
- Ensuring your child’s school life is as happy and conducive to learning as possible
- Giving them a caring and supportive environment in which to relax on exeats and holidays
- Being “in touch” with each of our students as individuals and building a solid trusting relationship and allowing this to develop and change as they grow older
- Regular consultation and updates with you as parents on all matters
- Treating each child and you as parents and individuals – everyone’s situation and needs are different
- Ensuring the right school is chosen for your child and regularly reviewing their progress and making recommendations to improve their academic progress and general wellbeing
This all starts as soon as you register with us. We can help to remove any anxiety, uncertainty and stress and make the whole experience as smooth, pleasurable and rewarding as possible.
Most parents come to us directly, but we also work with a number of partners in, Spain, China, Turkey, Switzerland and Germany.
We are very happy to put you in touch with parents, agents, boarding house staff and head teachers to find out more about UK Guardians.
