Child Student Visa

The Chadderton is a Sponsor for UK Visas and Immigration. We are licensed to support Confirmations of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for Child Student Visas.

All non-UK passport holders will require a Child Student Visa in order to be able to study at The Chadderton. The only exceptions are:

• British and Irish citizens.
• European citizens with Settled or Pre-Settled status.
• Non-European citizens with a visa which allows study, including (but not limited to) dependant visa holders and those with indefinite leave.

Full details on how to apply for a Child Student Visa can be found below.

Documents required to make application

• A current passport.
• A Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) issued by the UK Visas and Immigration, which we will provide once we have a copy of your child’s current passport. This will contain a reference number which you will need to enter on your visa application. The CAS is valid for six months and only valid for studying at The Chadderton.
• Parental Consent Form.
• You may be required to provide a tuberculosis (TB) certificate, so please ensure that you allow plenty of time to get an appointment at an approved clinic before submitting your visa application. A list of countries likely to require a TB certificate can be found here: TB Test List.

When you apply for a Child Student Visa, you may be asked to demonstrate to UK Visas and Immigration that you have the money available to pay your school fees for the first year of the course. We recommend that you pay a year’s fees in advance before we apply for the CAS so that we can state on your CAS that fees have been paid in full. We can provide a pro-forma invoice if required. If you are a UK National or you come from one of the countries listed by the UKVI in their guidance at https://www.gov.uk/child-study-visa/money then you DO NOT need to meet this financial requirement.
