A warm welcome to our brand new Kimbolton School Parents’ Handbook. Your son/daughter receives his/her own ‘New Pupil Handbook’, full of information covering most eventualities. We presume that parents have always sneaked a look at this too, however, this Parents’ Handbook offers a more comprehensive and detailed view of life at our school. This book is primarily designed to help you, and your child, prepare for their first Kimbolton term and ease your navigation through the months, and years, which follow. Some of the advice has been contributed by current parents who recently followed the same path as you are now doing. Edition 1, June 2012 3 Welcome We know that the move to Senior School, any senior school, marks an important milestone in a child’s life. We want Kimbolton pupils to develop into confident, caring, interesting and interested young men and women. Self-esteem is so important in this process and an important component of that has to be increasing independence. You will notice the theme which runs through this handbook – whilst school and parents provide the support, the pupils must learn to do it for themselves. Your son/daughter’s tutor will invariably be your first point of contact with the School. Thereafter the Housemaster/mistress (Hm) oversees the pastoral concerns of his/her House. Our pastoral care system is robust (don’t just take my word for it, the recent Inspection report says the same). We have a dedicated nursing team in the School Health Centre (including an independent School Counsellor), a Chaplain and the Assistant Head Pastoral. You are holding the first edition of the Parents’ Handbook in your hands. We will look to refine and improve each year. Please feel free to pass on your suggestions for the 2013 version – including any pertinent ‘Parent-to-Parent’ tips. I look forward to working with you over the next few years.
