CEO & Principal
Guardianship Manager
Sutherland Education has cared for international students in the UK since 1965, and that long experience is something families and schools have come to rely on. The organisation was started by Betty Sutherland, who founded the first guardianship association in the UK, the Kith and Kin Association, which she ran at the poet Rudyard Kipling’s former home, Bateman’s, in Burwash, Sussex. The ethos stayed the same when the name changed to Sutherland Education in 1989. The Sutherland clan motto is ‘Sans Peur’, and it is the aim of everyone at Sutherland Education that when parents overseas choose us to look after their child, they can do so without fear.
Andrew Sutherland, the principal of Sutherland Education, has firm beliefs about how international students should be looked after when coming to study in the UK. “Sutherland Education is a care organisation” says Andrew.
