No. The Pilgrims School in Winchester was removed from the Home Office register of licensed sponsors on 10 July 2026 and cannot sponsor new visa applications. Companies House does not confirm that the company has closed. ### When did The Pilgrims School leave the sponsor register? The Pilgrims School no longer appears on the register, having been listed until 10 July 2026. GOV.UK does not publish why a sponsor leaves: the licence may have been revoked, surrendered, replaced after an ownership change, or lapsed. If your visa is sponsored by this employer, contact them and get immigration advice. If a licence has been revoked, workers usually get 60 days to find a new sponsor. ### What visa routes can The Pilgrims School sponsor? The Pilgrims School was licensed for Charity Worker and Skilled Worker. Its licence rating on the register is "Temporary Worker (A rating)". ### Where is The Pilgrims School based? The register lists The Pilgrims School at Winchester. This is usually the head office; the job itself may be somewhere else. ### How current is this information?
