Kellett integrates SEL through its Positively Kellett programme, which is delivered weekly within the timetable. The initiative focuses on equipping students with skills for resilience, empathy, and self-awareness, and is supported by resources and webinars for families. The school’s pastoral care system provides each student with guidance and mentoring, ensuring SEL is part of both classroom learning and broader school life. Trained staff, including counsellors, contribute to this framework. SEL is embedded from Preparatory through to Sixth Form.
The school provides support for Additional Support Needs (ASN) within its mainstream setting. Qualified teachers and assistants deliver targeted and in-class support to help remove barriers to learning. Policies state that support is planned in partnership with families and tailored to individual needs. Kellett is not a specialist SEN institution, but it aims to support a range of mild to moderate learning needs where appropriate provisions can be made.
The school does not provide EAL support. Admissions materials specify that instruction is delivered in English and require both students and parents to demonstrate sufficient English proficiency before entry.
Kellett promotes mental wellbeing through the Positively Kellett curriculum, pastoral support, and trained counsellors on staff. Sixth Form timetables include space for one-on-one sessions with tutors and guidance counsellors. The school emphasises wellbeing in inspection reports and is recognised by COBIS as a Beacon School for Wellbeing. Mental health support is therefore embedded into both everyday routines and structured wellbeing programmes.
Kellett has a published Safeguarding Policy alongside Safer Recruitment and Health & Safety policies. The school’s procedures meet UK Department for Education standards for British Schools Overseas (BSO). The 2023 BSO inspection judged safeguarding as outstanding, confirming that robust policies and practices are in place to protect students. These include staff training, child protection guidelines, and clear reporting procedures.
Kellett’s Kowloon Bay campus brings together a two-form Preparatory School and a four-form Senior & Sixth Form on one site, following the English National Curriculum through I/GCSEs to A-Levels. Facilities include a theatre, swimming pool and a rooftop Sky Pitch, supporting extensive sport and expressive arts. Wellbeing is embedded through the Positively Kellett programme and a deep pastoral structure with trained counsellors. Students engage in public speaking (LAMDA) and a wide co-curricular offer, while community work runs under the Kellett Cares banner with multi-year NGO partnerships selected by students. The campus opened in 2013 and is reachable by dedicated school buses operated by Lewis Motors. Instruction is in English; languages offered include Chinese (Mandarin), French and Spanish. Typical class sizes are capped at 24 in Prep, with smaller groups at I/GCSE and A-Level.
