The Royal School’s International Department welcomes pupils from all over the world. We understand how it feels to be in a different environment away from home and in a significantly new culture. All of the teachers in our department have lived, studied and taught in other countries outside the UK. Licensed by the UKVI as a Student route sponsor, we have an excellent track record of sponsoring international pupils and their visa applications.
We provide CAS letters for visa applications in-house. Our Head of Admissions will work directly with you and your family, guiding all parties through the visa application process. You can rely on us to manage the process, as we will provide you with only one point of contact. We attend various events throughout the year where we enjoy meeting our agents and connecting with new ones.
Our international pupils do not have English as their first language and therefore we recognise that they need additional support in order to gain the most from their studies across the curriculum. English language learners work towards internationally recognised qualifications including Cambridge University Language Assessment Examinations (e.g. IELTS) and IGCSE in English as a Second Language. These ensure our students are fully equipped with the correct language requirements for university entrance.
Working with The Royal School
The Royal School acknowledges the importance of Educational Agents who represent international students who are interested in applying to study at the school. The school aims to ensure that the admissions process is accessible to all applicants. To this end, an agency agreement will be issued and updated annually, along with a Certificate of Affiliation that the agency will receive. Please note that all certificates and agreements are valid for one academic year and will be reviewed and updated annually.
Our school is open to visits by agents all year round. If you are a parent or student who is unable to visit us in person, we would be happy to arrange an online meeting with our Head or Head of Boarding. To schedule a visit or virtual meeting, please contact our Admissions Department at (admissions@royal.surrey.sch.uk).

The information will be reviewed by our Head of Admissions to evaluate progression to the next stage of the admissions process
