Can a child attend school in the UK on a child visa?

Yes, a child can attend school in the UK on certain types of visas, specifically the Child Student Visa. This visa is designed for children aged 4-17 who wish to study at an independent school in the UK. To attend school under this visa:

The child must have an unconditional offer of a place at a registered UK independent school.

The parent or guardian must consent to the child’s study in the UK.

Sufficient funds must be demonstrated to cover the cost of the course fees and living expenses.

The Child Student Visa allows the child to stay in the UK for the duration of their course and a short period afterward, up to a maximum of 6 years.
