One school. One family.
Join the Kimbolton family and be part of a forward-thinking team committed to providing an outstanding, modern all-round education. We challenge children to become curious, courageous and kind young adults with a strong moral compass, ready to make a difference in the world.
About us
Founded in 1600, Kimbolton School is set within 120 acres of stunning grounds surrounding Kimbolton Castle. We educate around 1,100 children aged 3–18 in a co-educational, predominantly day environment, with a vibrant boarding community for older pupils. Our Senior School and Sixth Form are located in and around the Castle, while Kimbolton Preparatory School is based to the west of the village.
Our pupils
Kimboltonians are well-rounded and grounded. They value hard work, service, and the ability to take setbacks in their stride—essential qualities for modern life. At the same time, they don’t take themselves too seriously and play just as hard as they work: on the sports pitches, on the stage, or even climbing a tree at break time.
Our approach
Our academic results are excellent, but we believe in much more than exam success. A broad curriculum is designed to help young people to discover their passions, develop a wide range of skills, and understand the difference they want to make in the world. Our expert staff know pupils as individuals and prioritise their wellbeing, while nurturing and challenging them to achieve their personal best.
Working at Kimbolton School
We employ around 350 staff across the School and our subsidiary company, Kimbolton School Enterprises. At Kimbolton, we invest in our people. We want every member of staff to feel supported, valued, and equipped to thrive.
Our workplace culture prioritises wellbeing, professional development, and accountability. This is reflected in our competitive employee benefits, strong support provision, and opportunities to grow.
