Border Agency Information

Friends’ School is a licensed spon­sor, with an ‘A’ rating.   When students have been offered and accep­ted a place, and paid the deposit and first term’s fees, the school issues a CAS (Confirm­a­tion for Accept­ance of Stud­ies) which enables students to apply for a visa in their home coun­try. This applic­a­tion is specific to Friends’ School and cannot be trans­ferred.   In order to process the applic­a­tion, the school needs a copy of the student’s pass­port, with a photo­graph, and evid­ence that the regis­tra­tion fee, deposit and first term’s fees have been paid. Once the CAS has been accep­ted by the UK Borders Agency, prospect­ive students can apply for a visa to come to the UK.
