International pupils

Welcoming pupils from around the world to Auckland

Auckland College is proud to be home to a diverse and vibrant international community.

With many years of experience in welcoming pupils from across the globe, we provide a supportive, inclusive and high-quality education for pupils aged 3–16. Our Tier 4 Child Student Sponsor Licence enables international pupils to study at Auckland College up to GCSE level, joining a nurturing environment that promotes academic success and personal growth.

A truly global school community

We have welcomed pupils from a wide range of countries, including China, Hong Kong, Dubai, Egypt, Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Cuba, Oman, and many more. Wherever our pupils come from, they are valued members of our school family from day one.

International pupils are most commonly admitted into our Secondary Department (ages 11–16), where they benefit from a progressive and inclusive curriculum designed to support success and build confidence.

Dedicated support for international families

From the moment your child arrives in the UK, we work hard to ensure a smooth and positive transition into school life. Our staff provide consistent pastoral care, helping pupils adjust to a new culture, language and academic system with confidence.

We also offer clear guidance and planning for pupils who wish to progress into Sixth Form or other UK-based further education after completing their GCSEs.

Applying for a Tier 4 Student Visa

To study at Auckland College, international pupils will require a Tier 4 Child Student Visa. The first step is receiving a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the school.

Please note: All school fees must be paid in full before a CAS can be issued.

For guidance on visa applications, our admissions team is here to help you through each step.

Subject availability may vary depending on the pupil’s age and English language proficiency. We tailor each pupil’s timetable to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Annual Tuition Fee for International Pupils: £9,000
(This must be paid in full before a CAS can be issued.)
