UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF)
Families are welcome to contact our Admissions Team directly regarding entry to Sutton Valence School. We are committed to providing clear, accurate information to support families through the admissions process.
Some families choose to work with an educational consultant or agent when considering UK boarding schools. Where an agent is involved, Sutton Valence School is committed to ensuring the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and student support in line with the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF).

As a licensed child student sponsor, Sutton Valence School supports the UK Agent Quality Framework and is committed to maintaining the highest standards in the management of educational agents and consultants.

Sutton Valence School expects all educational consultants representing the School to operate professionally and ethically. We require our agent partners to adhere to:
- The National Code of Ethical Practice for UK Education Agents
