Kimberley School (formally Kimberley Comprehensive School) is a secondary school in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, England. It has academy status. Part of the East Midlands Education Trust, it has many feeder schools in the Kimberley/Nuthall area. It has opened a new multi-million pound sixth form centre in September 2020.[1] The school has 4 houses: Boot, Clough, Lawrence, and Nightingale all named after famous people from the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area.[2]

International[]

The school has links with another in Burkina.[3] The schools in Burkina Faso, like in England, are free but the government cannot afford to deliver this assurance to all the Burkinabé children.[4] Unlike England you are much more likely to receive an education if you are a boy.[4]
