Pastoral care and safeguarding

We take pride in delivering exceptional pastoral support to our students. We believe that children flourish when they feel content, protected, and assured, irrespective of their age. Working closely with parents, we instil values of good conduct and mutual respect. We foster a strong sense of community that many families believe extends well beyond our gates.

With our small class and tutor group sizes, we can offer highly personalised attention to each student. Every child is acknowledged and understood, and our teaching and pastoral colleagues collaborate to provide appropriate, specific support.

Wellbeing Hub

 

We are proud to have recently introduced The Wellbeing Hub, an online resource here to support the mental health and wellbeing of our entire community.

Pastoral support

Kimbolton School's pastoral support prioritises the well-being and personal development of our pupils. This support system features a dedicated team of Tutors, Housemasters, and Housemistresses who provide daily guidance and assistance.

Our pastoral care also includes wellbeing  services, offering access to professional Counsellors and Wellbeing staff who provide support for emotional needs.

The on-site Health Centre, staffed by qualified nurses, plays a vital role in providing medical care, first aid, and health education, ensuring that the children’s  physical health is carefully monitored and maintained.

Furthermore, we foster a strong sense of community and belonging through various extracurricular activities, peer mentoring programs, parental information sessions, and regular well-being workshops for colleagues and students.

This holistic approach ensures that students feel valued, supported, and equipped to excel both academically and personally.
