Boarding accommodation
Our boarding houses are located on Kimbolton village’s beautiful High Street and back onto the school grounds.
Your home from home
Kimbolton House (the Boys’ House) and White House (the Girls’ House) are both properties that combine a rich history and character with modern facilities that meet the needs of today’s teenagers.
You will find a relaxed family atmosphere in both boarding houses. We encourage boarders to personalise their rooms and to treat the houses like home, while respecting the needs of others. Younger pupils share rooms while older boarders have study bedrooms more akin to university accommodation.
Our team of boarding staff in each house are always on hand to provide help and guidance. Our Health Centre provides medical back-up, while our catering staff produce delicious, nutritional meals throughout the week. All boarders eat together in the Dining Room which reinforces their sense of community.
