Future careers
Supporting students in their choices for the future
Beyond Kimbolton
We encourage all students to look ahead to make good, informed choices about the future.
Alongside helping you to reach your academic potential, we offer a breadth of additional support, including our Preparing for Citizenship course, leadership opportunities and UCAS, university and career guidance, including Oxbridge preparation.
Your next steps
Upper Sixth Form students typically pursue higher education, with many opting for university or taking a gap year before further studies. Some choose an apprenticeship or enter the workforce directly.
In March, we host a Lower Sixth event for students and families to guide you through the university application process. For those aspiring to Oxford or Cambridge, we organise a similar session featuring presentations by admissions tutors from both universities.
You will be paired with a dedicated University Adviser to oversee your UCAS application journey. We offer mock interviews and preparation courses for fields like medicine and law to ensure you feel confident in taking your next steps.

“Debating was also a particular highlight of Sixth Form and has greatly helped me in achieving my scholarship as well as my university place. If it wasn’t for all the advice and encouragement I was given in Sixth Form, I wouldn’t be in this position – I feel very lucky.”
Freya, Sixth Form student
Old Kimboltonians’ Association
Your Kimbolton story doesn’t end here.
The Kimboltonian community extends far beyond Sixth Form, and to all corners of the globe. You will be part of a close-knit year group with shared memories that will stay with you for life.
The Old Kimboltonians’ Association (OKA) holds three main social events each year: the London Dinner, the Summer Reunion and OKA Ball, plus the Annual Dinner.
These key events are supplemented by smaller regional reunions, year group reunions, and informal drinks in London.
“Kimbolton School has a remarkable spirit amongst its leavers that is highly valued by those walking through the Gatehouse for the last time and returning in later years.” OKA Alumni Officer
