Kellett School (Kowloon Bay)

The school's mission is to "instil a love of learning and confidence for life." It is a values-driven community centered on the core principles of respect, kindness, and integrity. The school is committed to environmental stewardship, evidenced by its "Sustainably Kellett" initiative and the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.

The school follows a modified English National Curriculum, offering a through-train education from Reception to Year 13. The Preparatory School (ages 4-11) focuses on Literacy, Numeracy, Science, and Digital Skills, with specialist teaching in Mandarin, music, and physical education. The Senior School (ages 11-18) offers a curriculum leading to i/GCSEs and A-Levels, with a 1:1 iPad programme integrated into the Preparatory years and specialized pathways in the Sixth Form.

The school consistently achieves high examination results in i/GCSE and A-Level public examinations. In 2025, 88.5% of A-Level grades were A-B, and 95% of i/GCSE grades were 9-6 (A-B). Graduates go on to attend a wide range of universities in the UK, North America, Asia, and Australia, including institutions such as the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and the University of Pennsylvania.

The school provides Additional Support (AS) for students, with dedicated learning support bases available. The educational approach emphasizes wellbeing and the development of soft skills such as adaptability, resilience, and problem-solving. The school also maintains a focus on Challenge Plus and SEN(D) requirements through its Education Committee.

Applications are accepted year-round, with waitlists that are fluid. The school accepts applications from birth for the Preparatory School and two years in advance for the Senior School. The process requires submission of an online application, an application fee (HK$2,000 for Reception to Year 4; HK$2,500 for Year 5 to Year 13), and supporting documents including school reports, passport copies, and birth certificates. Sixth Form applicants must also provide a letter of application and mock exam results.

The school operates on a term-based calendar, with the academic year typically divided into three terms. Term dates are approved by the Board of Governors and the Hong Kong Education Bureau. Detailed calendars for upcoming academic years are available for download on the school website.

The school operates two campuses: the Pok Fu Lam campus (established 1980) and the Kowloon Bay campus (opened 2013). Pok Fu Lam features an auditorium, gymnasium, library, science lab, dance and drama studio, ICT suite, and an Astroturf playground. The Kowloon Bay campus is a purpose-built facility housing a theatre, dance hall, CrossFit gym, swimming pool, and a "Sky Pitch" with an artificial turf multi-sport area and running track.

Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) are offered across both the Preparatory and Senior schools. In the Preparatory School, students participate in activities such as sport, music, art, and public speaking. The Senior School offers a wide range of activities, including student leadership opportunities, sports, and expressive arts. Service learning is also a key component of the school's community engagement.
