UK Boarding Schools with Cricket for Families in Mumbai

Mumbai families come to us with a clear brief: keep the cricket serious and the academics stronger. We shortlist UK independent schools that can do both, then guide you through assessments, fees in rupees, the Child Student visa and UK guardianship.

Fees in local currency

Full boarding at leading UK independent schools is typically £30,000–£50,000 a year — roughly ₹32 lakh to ₹53 lakh at an indicative rate of about ₹106 to the pound — before flights, guardianship, deposits and kit.

Travel from Mumbai

Mumbai (BOM) has direct flights to London of around nine and a half hours, which makes half-term travel and exeat weekends straightforward. Most schools sit within a two to three hour transfer of Heathrow.

Cricket in Mumbai

Boys and girls coming through Mumbai Cricket Association age-group cricket, school cricket and academies around Wankhede and Bandra usually have the technical grounding UK cricket masters look for. We help you present that record — scorebooks, coach references and video — in the format UK schools expect.

Schooling and entry points

Most Mumbai pupils we place come from ICSE, CBSE or IB schools. Class 7–8 maps to UK Year 9 (13+) entry, and Class 10 to Sixth Form (16+) for A Levels or the IB Diploma.

Questions families in Mumbai ask

How much do UK boarding schools cost for families in Mumbai?

Full boarding at leading UK independent schools is typically £30,000–£50,000 a year — roughly ₹32 lakh to ₹53 lakh at an indicative rate of about ₹106 to the pound — before flights, guardianship, deposits and kit.

Can a cricketer from Mumbai 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 Mumbai 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.
