Plan for £30,000–£50,000 a year, broadly ₹32 lakh to ₹53 lakh at an indicative ₹106 to the pound, plus flights and guardianship.

Can a cricketer from Kolkata win a UK school scholarship?

Yes — many UK independent schools award cricket, academic, music or all-rounder scholarships, usually as a percentage of fees rather than the whole amount. Assessment is normally by video, coach references and a performance record, followed by an online interview. We tell you which of your shortlisted schools genuinely award them to international pupils.

When should a family in Kolkata start the application?

Plan 12 to 18 months ahead of the intended entry point. Most UK schools want registration by the autumn before entry, run assessments and scholarship trials between November and February, and confirm awards in the spring, leaving time for the Child Student visa and guardianship.
