Communication

Good and open communication between home and school is vital to the development, happiness and success of every pupil. We welcome parents contacting us and will do our best to help you with any enquiries or concerns.

Day-to-day enquiries and concerns

Your first point of contact is your child’s form tutor, who will be able to answer most questions.

The start and end of the day are busy times for staff so, for anything other than simple queries, you may be asked to make an appointment via the school office. Messages can also be conveyed via your child’s diary (Lower Prep) or homework diary (Upper Prep).

Alternatively, you may request a meeting with the Head of Prep (or the Senior Deputy, or Head of Lower Prep) to discuss any matter relating to school.

Email to request a meeting: prep@kimboltonschool.com

Communication channels

Calendar

You can find our school calendar here.

Website

You will find plenty of useful information in our current families area.

Newsletter

Our Prep newsletter is a key weekly document, which is emailed every Friday during term time. It contains highlights from the week and information about forthcoming events. Any changes to the online calendar are notified via our weekly newsletter.

Engage

Engage is our online portal, which enables you to view assessments and reports, complete forms, and book activities.

Classlist

Classlist, a secure online platform and mobile app, enables parent-to-parent communication and helps new families to settle in quickly.

You will receive an email invitation to join the group; privacy settings mean you can control how much of your information is shared with others.

School magazines

Our annual magazine, ‘The Kim Prep Press’, contains reports of school events, children’s work and photographs from the previous academic year.

One child from each family is given a copy to take home. Its sister magazine, ‘The Kimboltonian’, is published bi-annually by the Senior School and the Autumn edition is also distributed to every family.
