What documentation do I need to travel to the UK?

Maximum Classroom Size

17 students - we aim for an average of 15 students per class

LETTER OF CONSENT TO TRAVEL Every student travelling to the UK without their parents or guardian MUST carry the Letter of Consent to Travel (Parent Confirmation Letter), as well as an accepted form of photo travel I.D. e.g. Passport, Identity Card. This letter confirms that the named student is attending a Language in Action summer school and contains the telephone number for the Summer School. A template of this letter can be found and downloaded from our website:  Parents must sign this letter and students should carry it with their passport at the time when travelling. They may be asked to show it at immigration / passport control when entering the UK. Parents and guardians may also want to consider having this letter notarised (witnessed or signed by a solicitor) as recently the regulations have changed for children travelling from certain countries without their parent. In particular, this applies to children travelling from Italy or Spain who may not be able to board a flight without either a notarised letter or a letter from the local police (in Italy this is called the Dichiarazione Di Affido) Please check the appropriate airline policies of the airline carrier you are using.
