This is the text we use to provide an overview of the school:

Kimbolton School provides over 1,000 pupils aged from 4 through to 18 with a caring, challenging environment in which all are encouraged to fulfil their potential.

Head Will Chuter says: "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: vital as a modern adult. Yet they don't take themselves too seriously, and they play just as hard as they work – on the sports pitches, on the stage, or just climbing a tree at break time!"

"Our academic results are excellent. 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."
