Supporting military families
At Kimbolton School, we understand the unique challenges faced by military families.
With many of our pupils, staff, and alumni having close ties to the armed forces, we are committed to providing a stable, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
Our strategy of, ‘One school. One family,’ reflects the close-knit, welcoming community we foster across all aspects of school life.

We have had three children at both Kim and the White Houses in the last eight years. Our children have had exceptional pastoral care in a nurturing, caring environment. The weekend activities are excellent and they have developed strong friendships across all school years that will endure – in addition to the fabulous relationships we have with the team. Communication is superb from the experienced and intuitive house teams and we couldn’t have asked for more in terms of support as our children have grown into happy, grounded, inquisitive teenagers. In short, we think you are incredible.
