From the Get Information about Schools register, matched to this sponsor by name and town. It describes the school, not the licence: nothing here says whether places are available or whether a particular student would be accepted.

The Home Office does not publish this sponsor’s visa refusal rate, enrolment rate or course completion rate. Those go to the sponsor in a letter; only the resulting standing reaches the register, and nothing on this page is derived from them. What a sponsor has to hit →

Read directly from the Register of Licensed Student Sponsors, snapshot of 7 Sept 2026. The Home Office does not publish per-sponsor visa refusal, enrolment or completion figures.

Office for Students record

No Office for Students record, and none is expected. The OfS regulates English higher education providers; independent schools, colleges and language centres fall outside its remit and are inspected under separate arrangements. Nothing is missing from this record.
