International Admissions
We can offer you support if you wish to make an application to Long Close School, including accommodation and visa assistance. We are also happy to receive applications from pupil recruitment agents working on behalf of international families.
As a part of the Cognita group of schools, which holds a group Student Sponsorship Licence, we are happy to arrange a Child Student visa (previously known as a Tier 4 visa) sponsorship for pupils who require this and meet the criteria and support you throughout the process. If you are unsure whether your child needs Child Student visa sponsorship, we recommend taking the UK Visas questionnaire to establish the correct visa.
