Filipino Child 16 years old - education in the UK

How do you go about enrolling a 16 year old Filipino child in the UK? Is education free?

There are both private and state schools just as the Philippines. I suggest you telephone your local education authority to find out which school near you has vacancies - but bear in mind that due to a completely different curriculum, your son may find himself in classes with students one, two or more years younger than him.

Thank you very much for this tip.

I had no problems enrolling my two Filipino stepchildren (then aged 7 and 9 years) with our local junior school in North Yorkshire... via the local education authority.

They were on dependent settlement visas.
