Our care
Guardianship built around your child
Every part of our service is designed to help international students settle, succeed, and grow — academically, pastorally, and personally.
Academic Tracking & Focus
Half-termly reviews, report analysis, target setting, and UCAS guidance from experienced educators who know the British school system.
Pastoral Care & Support
Regular mentoring, mindfulness, leadership guidance, and stress-management sessions so your child feels supported, not just supervised.
Tutoring & Learning Support
Targeted support from qualified subject experts — including examiners and Heads of Department — in the subjects where your child needs it most.
Co-curricular, Arts & Sport
Guidance and access to sport, music, drama, outdoor pursuits, CCF, Duke of Edinburgh, and curated enrichment trips.
Exeats & School Holidays
Carefully matched host-family accommodation, plus occasional WBS Hosted Breaks with activities, Chinese food, and academic support.
