Tier 4 Child Student

The UK Immigration authorities allow for child as well as adult students to come to the UK.

The Tier 4 (Child) category is for children coming to the UK to be educated at independent fee paying schools.(also known as private schools).

The age limit for this category is 4 years old at the youngest age and 17 years old at the eldest age. It is only children between 4 and 15 years of age that must be educated at independent fee-paying schools, rather than state funded schools.

Otherwise, Tier 4 holders in the Child student category cannot study at publicly funded state schools.

The only publicly funded education providers that can teach Tier 4 (Child) students are publicly funded further education college which are able to charge for international students.

Applicants must be able to make out the maintenance requirements as well as having a CAS (a confirmation of acceptance of studies)
