International
Students

10 minutes from Heathrow, you will see Windsor Castle from our school and enjoy the close proximity to London.

We regularly welcome international students* from a variety of countries to join our school community. International families choose Long Close because of our commitment to academic excellence, character development, global perspectives, and British values, as well as our excellent academic results and a strong focus on wellbeing.

All students – British, EU and international – are charged the same fees, regardless of nationality or immigration status.


*International students are those with nationalities other than UK or Irish who are subject to immigration control.

International Deposit

International students who receive an offer to study at Long Close will be asked to accept their place by completing and returning an acceptance form and paying a deposit equal to one term’s fees. The international deposit will be returned at the end of a student’s time at the school, providing appropriate notice has been given and all fees have been settled.

UK Visas and Immigration

Long Close's parent company, Redshift Education, has a licence to sponsor Child Student visas. If you would like to discuss visa sponsorship, our Admissions Manager will be glad to support you throughout your application and subsequent studies. Families are asked to settle the academic year’s fees in full and pay a £600 administration fee for each Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) in advance of sponsorship. The Admissions Manager can support parents of students aged 4 to 15 years old who wish to join their children in the UK under the Parent of a Child Student visa route. We also welcome international students who are dependents of their parents’ investor, skilled worker, and diplomatic visas, as well as those who come to the UK under many other immigration routes. If you are unsure whether your child needs a Child Student visa, we recommend taking the UK Visas questionnaire to establish the most suitable immigration route for your family.
