The school serves primary aged pupils who live in Kimbolton and Stonely and other local villages. Children from outside the catchment area are also welcomed to the school.
Children may start school in the September after their fourth birthday. For the first few weeks of the Autumn Term, we operate a staggered part-time entry so that the youngest children are admitted gradually and have time to settle properly.
Depending on the number of applicants from within our catchment area, there may be places for children from further afield.
