You can apply for the Tier 4 (Child) student visa if you are aged between 4 and 17 and wish to be educated at independent schools in the UK.

If you are under 16, you may not be eligible for standalone English language courses unless they are part of a broader curriculum. You may also apply for a short-term student visa to study English for up to six months.

Your stay duration depends on your age and course length:

• Under 16: Course length (up to 6 years) plus an additional 4 months afterwards.
• 16 or 17: Course length (up to 3 years) plus an additional 4 months afterwards.
