International Programme

Welcome

Austin Friars welcomes applications from international students who wish to benefit from a high-quality British education in a supportive and caring environment.

We understand that studying overseas requires additional support beyond the classroom, and we work closely with trusted partners to ensure that every student is well supported throughout their journey.

Our International Programme

For students joining us from overseas, we offer a fully supported international programme designed to provide a smooth and well-managed experience. This typically includes:

Academic tuition at Austin Friars
Homestay accommodation with carefully selected host families

Guardianship provision in line with UK safeguarding expectations
Ongoing pastoral support and local coordination

This integrated approach ensures that students are safe, well cared for and able to focus fully on their studies and personal development.

Fees and Structure

The published fees on our website primarily reflect our UK-based day provision.

For international students, fees are structured as a consolidated package, which brings together the academic programme and the additional support services required for students living and studying in the UK.

The overall cost will therefore vary depending on the level of support required and the individual arrangements in place.

For full details of the current international fee structure, please contact the School directly or speak with one of our authorised representatives.

Working with International Partners

Austin Friars works with a small number of trusted international partners who support families throughout the application process.

These partners provide guidance on school selection, assist with applications and help ensure that students are well prepared for their move to the UK.

Safeguarding and Student Welfare

Student welfare is at the heart of everything we do.

All international arrangements, including accommodation and guardianship, are managed in line with UK safeguarding standards, including the principles of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).
