welcome to guardians etc.

guardians etc. iis an established and experienced guardianship agency for parents living outside the UK who have or plan to have children in UK boarding schools. Not only do we look after children once they have chosen their school, but we also offer a school placement service to help parents and children to obtain a place at the right school for them – we have placed students in Dean Close, Cheltenham Ladies College, Badminton, Cheltenham College, St Swithuns, Millfield, Harrow, Winchester College, Queens College Taunton, Royal High School Bath, Sherborne Preparatory School, Windermere, Monmouth Boys School, Culford, Taunton School, Taunton International School, Horris Hill, Clifton College, Downe House, Sherborne International, Haberdasher’s Monmouth School for Girls, Forres Sandle Manor, Barnard Castle, Port Regis, Worksop College, Kings College Taunton, Dean Close St Johns, Sherborne School, Sherborne girls and Harrow.

We appreciate that deciding to send your child to study abroad is a huge and important decision and their welfare will be uppermost in your mind. Everything we do and every decision we make is based on the principle of answering the question of “how would we as parents want to be treated and what would we want for our children?”

As parents ourselves, we recognise that children only thrive, succeed and fulfil their potential if all aspects of their wellbeing are being monitored and looked after. We believe that we can only do this if we have regular and close interaction with all our students. We are based in Bristol and cover the towns and cities in the South of England. Our school placement service covers the whole of the UK.

Language need not be a barrier as we work with a wide range of interpreters for all nationalities and we can use these either for simple translations of documents or to accompany us in meetings and visits.
