Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Curriculum underpins everything we do at Kew College Prep school. We work as a team to ensure all children are listened to and feel valued. The strong sense of community at our school is enhanced by our governors and parents, all of whom are fully committed to the school’s ethos and values, and work tirelessly on its behalf.
