We are delighted that you are interested in a career at Kimbolton School.  Whether you are at the Prep, at one end of the village and our parkland, 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.  To join our school is to enter a friendly and inclusive environment that provides the space and support for children to grow into themselves. Our site is beautiful and safe, with room enough for all our 1,100 pupils to roam, and we are lucky to call Kimbolton Castle and its stunning grounds home. 

The most important part of the school is, of course, its people, and you will be welcomed as an old friend by our warm community of pupils and staff.  You will find that staff here are well supported and rewarded for their commitment to our pupils, but that what they value most is the camaraderie of supportive colleagues who do not take themselves too seriously. 

Kimboltonians are well rounded and have their feet on the ground.  They understand the value of hard work, service, and taking failure in their stride.  Yet they know how to have fun and they play just as hard as they work - on the sports pitches, on the stage, or just climbing a tree at break time.  Their academic results are excellent, too.  Our broad curriculum is guided by a desire to see young adults emerge with many strings to their bows and a clear sense of the difference they want to make in the world.  Expert staff, who know the pupils as individuals and place their wellbeing first, nurture and challenge them to find their passions and do their personal best. 

Kimbolton is, first and foremost, a happy place where every child is valued.  We do hope that you will want to join our One school. One family.
