Every student with a parent living overseas must have an adult guardian in the UK responsible for them during their studies at a UK boarding school, and it is the parents’ responsibility to find a suitable guardian for their child.
A guardian could be a relative, friend of the family or a guardian agency and must be a minimum of 25 years old and not in full-time education. It is essential that guardians are nominated before starting to study at Taunton School, and that we are advised of the name and contact details of the guardian prior to the start of term.
Please note, all arrangements for the beginning of term, end of term and half terms should be made between the parent or guardian and the student concerned.
Taunton School should be kept informed of arrangements using forms provided to parents/guardians at the beginning of the academic year.
