International Pupils

Experience an exceptional education

We regularly welcome international pupils from a variety of countries to join our school community. Please note: we classify ‘international pupils’ as those children with nationalities other than UK or Irish who are subject to immigration control.

International families choose Brighton College Prep Kensington because of our culture of kindness, commitment to academic excellence, exceptional focus on pupil wellbeing, global outlook, and emphasis on fundamental British values. All pupils – British, EU and international – are charged the same fees, regardless of nationality or immigration status.

Agents and Education Consultants

Brighton College Prep Kensington and Cognita Schools Ltd work with a range of international student recruitment agencies, education consultants and relocation agents. Agents and consultants are invited to contact the international admissions team at Cognita about representation.

International Deposit

International students who receive an offer to study at Brighton College Prep Kensington will be asked to accept their place by paying a deposit of £8,000.

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.

Brighton College Prep Kensington's parent company, Cognita Schools Ltd, has a licence to sponsor international students on Child Student visas. Please contact Cognita’s international team if you would like to discuss visa sponsorship. 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 visa sponsorship.

The international team can support parents of students aged 4 to 11 years old who wish to join their children in the UK under the Parent of a Child Student visa route. Please note only one parent per family may apply for the Parent of a Child Student visa and you may not work or study on this immigration route.

We also welcome international students who are dependents of their parents’ visas, e.g., BN(O), Diplomatic, EUSS, Global Talent, and Skilled Worker visas, as well as many other immigration routes.

If you are unsure whether your child needs a Child Student visa, we recommend consulting the Check If You Need a UK Visa section of the Home Office website.
