We are delighted to share an exciting development in the UK education sector – Academic Families has acquired English Country Guardians (ECG), a highly respected British guardianship company.
Since 2012, Academic Families has been supporting international parents and students in every aspect of their British education experience – from their first moments of exploring UK boarding schools to their enrolment in university.
As a UK-based, gold-standard guardianship and education agency, Academic Families is closely aligned with ECG, and our team looks forward to extending their provision of exceptional care and enhanced opportunities for international students in the UK. We are excited to offer our students new benefits such as:
- A stronger, expanded network – there are now more opportunities for cultural exchange, travel and tailored care as our host family network expands. From the Scottish Highlands to the South of England, students can experience authentic British life wherever they stay.
- Oxbridge guidance – Our team now includes experts who have helped students successfully apply to Oxford and Cambridge, ensuring children receive the best possible support if they aspire to attend these prestigious universities.
- London and Heathrow hosting – we have more hosting and guardianship support close to these important locations.
New owners, new website and a whole new look
As ECG is now part of Academic Families, our team has been working hard on a revised brand identity as well as a relaunched website with a fresh new face: englishcountryguardians.co.uk.
If you would like to interview our founder Lorna Clayton MBE for an upcoming newsletter, article, podcast or webinar, please contact her at lorna@englishcountryguardians.co.uk.
This transition is a natural and positive step as Joanna Winstanley, ECG’s founder, begins her well-earned retirement. She has built a fantastic company with a strong reputation, and we look forward to continuing her legacy.
