Kimbolton School

    Welcome from our Headmaster

    "Whether you are a pupil at the Prep, at one end of the village, or the Senior School, at the other, your experience at Kimbolton will be characterised by the same educational ethos: we value character just as much as academic achievement, and we value kindness most of all."

    Life at Kimbolton

    Kimbolton School is an HMC co-educational independent day and boarding school based in Cambridgeshire for pupils aged 4–18. Life at Kimbolton School is full of opportunities. Each day is busy, stimulating and varied, no matter what the age of the pupil.

    We are very much one school: the curricula of the Prep and Senior Schools are aligned; our warm, caring ethos starts at the Reception Year and continues through to the Upper Sixth.
