Boarding in Sixth Form

Boarding at Kimbolton is an awesome experience. Our two boarding houses, Kimbolton House for boys and White House for girls, sit on the historic village High Street, adjacent to the school.

Our boarders enjoy a welcoming and familial atmosphere, that feels like a home-away-from-home. Boarding options – full, weekly, flexi, and occasional – cater to individual needs.

“Kimbolton Sixth Form is a superb mix of freedom and responsibility. I’ve studied English Language, Art History and DT, while outside the classroom I’ve captained our canoe team and thoroughly enjoyed training for and taking part in the 125-mile Devizes to Westminster canoe race.”

Ellie, Sixth Form student
“Kimbolton has helped me develop not only my strengths inside the classroom but also my personal qualities through being an Ingrams Prefect and taking an active role in CCF RAF activities. My dream of working in the veterinary world has been made possible by fantastic teachers and support during my Sixth Form years.”

James, Sixth Form student
Sixth Form life has been challenging but rewarding. It has helped me to broaden my horizons and to find out what I am capable of. The excellent teaching staff have been central to this experience, providing brilliant support throughout my time here.”

Daniel, Sixth Form student
“I’m interested in becoming a doctor, so the Science Showcase was an ideal opportunity to research a topic related to that career. I think it will be a good addition to my CV and also give me something extra to talk about in interviews.”
