IFE’s schools maintain close relationships with destination boarding schools and universities, reflecting the focus of Bishopstrow and Padworth on preparing students for the next stage of their education.
Bishopstrow College maintains Teaching Partnerships, validated by UKVI, with over 100 boarding schools in the UK. Under these Teaching Partnerships, students with a confirmed offer of a place at a Partner School, can attend a pre-sessional programme at Bishopstrow College, where the Partner School issues the Student Child visa, covering the period of study at Bishopstrow. In some cases, the pre-sessional programme is embedded within the overall admissions and enrolment process of the Partner School.
