There is a requirement by the boarding schools to appoint an educational guardian in the absence of the pupil’s parent in this country. An educational guardian has duties of care to the child at all times when the child cannot be in school, including half-terms, weekend leaves, and during illness. The educational guardian is also there for your child to give advice and support and is available to regularly communicate with parents.
