Pastoral Care

Our Ethos: Happy Children Learn Best

At Knightsbridge School, we believe that emotional wellbeing is the foundation of academic achievement. In our vibrant central London home, we foster an environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential. 

  • Small Class Sizes, Big Impact: Our commitment to small class sizes ensures that every child receives the close care and individual attention they deserve.
  • The KS Code: Kindness is the heartbeat of our community. The “KS Code” is not just a set of rules; it is a shared language echoed throughout school life, guiding our pupils to be empathetic and resilient global citizens.

Partnership with Place2Be

  • Place2Be Partnership: We are proud to partner with Place2Be, an expert in-house counselling service. This provides children with a dedicated, professional avenue to talk about their feelings whenever they need support.
  • The House System: Beyond the classroom, our House system builds a sense of belonging and healthy competition, encouraging peer-to-peer support and leadership.
  • A Values-Led Education: From mindfulness sessions to weekly assemblies, wellbeing and character development are woven into the very fabric of our curriculum.

A Strong Home-School Partnership

We believe that the best outcomes for children are achieved when schools and families work in close harmony.

  • Open Dialogue: We maintain a transparent and active partnership with parents, ensuring you are an integral part of your child’s emotional and academic journey.
  • A Community of Support: Our inclusive atmosphere extends to our families, creating a supportive network that makes Knightsbridge School feel like a second home.

What our community says...

 

“Pastoral care is a real strength. The children feel safe and supported, and it’s the kind of place where teachers genuinely notice how a child is doing emotionally as well as academically. When my daughter joined … she was very shy, and the way the school gently encouraged her made such a difference. She’s now extremely confident, happy, and thriving.”

- KS Parent

 

“[Pastoral Care] is where Knightsbridge really shines. There is an in-house team that pupils can use as a space to share and get guidance. But it’s not only that – our daughter constantly tells us that everyone looks after each other, pupils and staff alike.”

- KS Parent

 

“The pastoral care [at Knightsbridge] is excellent. My children’s form tutors have always been extremely supportive. The “Place to Be” mental health service is a fantastic resource.”

- KS Parent

 

“Teachers and staff make sure we feel safe and supported, and there’s always someone to talk to if we’re struggling with something. You truly feel part of a family here. This support provides a sense of calm, reassurance, and belonging.”

- KS Pupil

 

“I feel extremely supported and looked after at [Knightsbridge]. The staff are caring, approachable and always have time to listen, which makes a huge difference. […] The support from both staff and students have made school feel like a place which I truly like being a part of.”
