An introduction to RVSE guardianship
Far from home.
Close to someone who cares.
Personal guardianship for international boarding school students, built around caring relationships and an understanding of life away from home.
Understanding guardianship
A familiar connection when you are overseas.
A new school brings opportunities, friendships and challenges. When parents live abroad, having a familiar adult in the UK can provide practical help and reassurance.
RV Sport & Education supports students and families with guardianship, pastoral guidance and practical arrangements. The level of ongoing support depends on your chosen package.
Our role is to work alongside your family and your child’s school, helping your child make the most of their education.

Why RV Sport & Education?
We understand boarding life from the inside.
Our team brings experience of international boarding, pastoral care and house parenting. That experience helps us understand the everyday realities of settling into school and balancing study, friendships and sporting interests.
Knowing the student
We build a positive, caring relationship with your child, taking time to understand their needs and ambitions.
Supporting the family
We maintain communication with students and parents, with visits and school liaison according to the chosen package.
Helping students grow
Our mentoring helps students balance academic study and sporting development as they navigate the next stage of their education.
Care in practice
