Kimbolton School, Cambridgeshire - entry advice please

Hi, this is my first post so apologies if this has been raised before...

My daughter is due to have and entry interview and a 11+ entry exam at Kimbolton school early next year.

Has anyone had any experience of Kimbolton or can anyone help with preparation for the exam?

Many thanks

Now I know this is embarrassing because I am a walking A-Z Independent School Dictionary, but I've had a few friends kids go through Kimbolton. I used to live in Wellingborough and compared to Northampton Schools, Wellingborough and Oundle, Kimbolton is much easier to get in to. Although my friends kids have just come out the other end, the interviews/assessments were very much making sure your child wouldn't struggle there and most peoples kids get in. I can't offer you any more advice than this, and it is second-hand advice, but I hope it helps a little!

Thanks for the advice which has allayed my fears a little.

I know this is more than a little cheeky, but do you think any of your friends would be prepared to get in touch and let me have their thoughts first hand, so to speak?
