Educational consultants

Choosing the right school for your child, particularly when they will be studying overseas, is an important decision. For some families, working with an experienced educational consultant can provide valuable guidance and support, from identifying suitable schools to navigating the application and admissions process.

Kimbolton School works with a trusted network of educational consultants who support families considering a UK education. We expect all consultants representing or referring families to Kimbolton to act professionally, transparently and in the best interests of the child.

Our educational consultant partners are expected to adhere to the National Code of Ethical Practice for UK Education Agents and follow the Good Practice Guide for UK Education Agents Partnering for Quality.

Students and families

If you choose to work with an educational consultant or agent, it is important to understand their role, the support they can provide and the standards you should expect.

The following resources have been created to help students, parents and families understand how education agents support applications to UK schools, what you can expect from them throughout the process, and the professional standards they should follow.

We work with a select number of educational consultants, if you have any complaints regarding agent conduct, please contact our Admissions team: admissions@kimboltonschool.com.
