Rendcomb College
Nr Cirencester · Independent school
Listed on the register as a student sponsor.
The school has closed
Rendcomb College is recorded as closed on the school register from 3 Jul 2026, with 320 pupils on roll at the time. Rendcomb College remains listed on the Home Office register as a licensed student sponsor for Child Student and Student.
Both statements are current and neither contradicts the other: a sponsor licence belongs to the company, which continues to exist after the school stops teaching, often for some months while it is wound up. Nothing here suggests the sponsor has done anything wrong. It is shown because a reader checking whether a school can take a student needs to know the school has closed, and the sponsor register does not say so.
Closure from Get Information about Schools (URN 115787), which records the date and the reason. Licence status from the Home Office register. This match was checked by hand against both before it was published — an automatically matched school marked closed is withheld instead, because it is usually a bad join rather than a closure.

From the Get Information about Schools register, matched to this sponsor by override. It describes the school, not the licence: nothing here says whether places are available or whether a particular student would be accepted. Capacity is the building's assessed limit, not a count of free places — a school below it may still have none in the year group a family needs.
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 →

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.
