	Alpha Guardians
Alpha Guardians students received excellent A Level and GCSE results this year with students progressing on to top UK universities or sixth forms of their choice. This was achieved through the students' hard work, alongside an excellent selection of state and independent schools, which we work closely with. At Alpha Guardians we believe the whole package is important, from helping students select the right school and courses for them, to ensuring they have suitable accommodation, whether in boarding or homestay. This, coupled with support and guidance from Alpha Guardians, the organising of additional activities such as gym membership or dance classes gives students a good balance of school life as well as leisure time. Alpha Guardians continues to support students throughout their time in the UK by attending parents evenings, arranging trips or through ongoing visits, calls or conversations always being available whatever the time or situation.
