Overview

About Kimbolton School

Kimbolton School offers an outstanding, innovative, yet down-to-earth education. It describes itself as one school, one family, promoting academic ambition with room to grow while placing the needs of young people and those who support and inspire them first.

Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school for ages 3–18, day or boarding.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
Watch-outs
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Location detail is sparse in our profile — verify postcode and tube/rail link before counting on commute time.
