Kellett embeds wellbeing through its whole-school programme called “Positively Kellett.” This initiative promotes wellbeing across all age groups and is supported by resources and events such as Positively Kellett Week. The school also highlights wellbeing as a core strand of its Additional Support Needs (ASN) framework, with provision points outlining how wellbeing is monitored and supported. Publications on the school’s website include parent resources and booklets to reinforce wellbeing strategies both in school and at home.
The school provides support through its Additional Support Needs (ASN) Department, which offers tailored help for students at different levels of need. Support includes differentiated teaching, targeted small-group interventions, and in some cases collaboration with external specialists. Provision also covers students who require “Further Challenge” because they are working beyond age-related expectations. Kellett follows a wave model of provision points, which sets out the level of support required for different needs. The school is not a specialist SEN institution, but aims to meet a range of needs within a mainstream setting.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.
Mental wellbeing is supported as part of the Positively Kellett framework, which is designed to nurture student health and happiness across the school. The initiative includes published wellbeing resources, parent engagement, and a structured approach within the ASN provision points. At Senior School, counselling staff are mentioned, but the website does not detail counsellors specifically for the Preparatory section. The emphasis for Preparatory pupils is on proactive wellbeing education, monitoring, and inclusion within everyday teaching and school life.
Kellett follows safeguarding and child protection policies aligned with COBIS Patron’s Accreditation standards. The school states a clear commitment to safer recruitment and to creating a safe environment for children. In 2021, Kellett became the first school in Hong Kong to be awarded COBIS Patron’s Accreditation, which verifies strong practice in safeguarding, student welfare, and governance.
Kellett’s Pok Fu Lam Preparatory School serves ages 4–11 on Hong Kong Island’s south side, in Wah Fu at the foot of Mount Kellett. Reception follows the EYFS, moving to a modified English National Curriculum with specialist teaching in subjects including Mandarin, music, art, PE, public speaking and digital skills; classes are capped at 24 and Pok Fu Lam runs three classes per year group. Facilities include a multi-use auditorium, gym, library, science lab, drama and dance studios, ICT and language labs, music rooms, art studio, and a SEN learning support base. The school day at PFL runs 8:30–15:15 with scheduled breaks by year group. Families use a dedicated Kwoon Chung bus service. Distinctive programmes include Innovation in Prep and whole-school wellbeing via “Positively Kellett.” Graduating Prep pupils typically continue within Kellett’s through-train pathway to Senior in Kowloon Bay.
