Welcome to Kellett Sixth Form
The transition from Year 11 to Sixth Form is an exciting one, but can be daunting for students, as they are entrusted with more responsibility, freedom and of course A-Levels.
Kellett Sixth Form students achieve fantastic public examination results as mature, globally-minded individuals with an appreciation of other cultures, ideas and beliefs. After their time with us, many students go on to attend leading universities around the world.
We prioritise student wellbeing and offer the highest levels of personalised care with time built into the timetable to allow for individual sessions with tutors, teachers and guidance counsellors. At Kellett the Sixth Form is designed to support an individual’s personal development, enabling them to make a real difference in whatever field they choose and whatever path they take.
Small classes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, coupled with exciting and engaging teaching, help our students reach their academic potential.

Further Information
Robust and supportive pastoral care remains just as important in the Sixth Form as it does lower down the school. Meanwhile, Positively Kellett assists our students in preparing to take their places in society equipped with a robust emotional skill set so that they may continue to flourish and lead rich rewarding lives.
Sixth Form students meet with their tutor daily as a group and for at least three one-to-ones during each half-term. The tutor is responsible for supporting students through all aspects of school life and is the first point of contact for parents. All tutors have a wide network of support available including the Head of Sixth Form, Heads of Year 12 and Year 13, the University and Careers Guidance Counsellor as well as the school’s Inclusion and Wellbeing teams.
Sixth Form Students also take part in and often lead the 'Feel Good Fridays' programme which helps to give students a moment of respite from their academic and extracurricular commitments, and encourages them to relax, destress and unwind in preparation for the weekend.
After your time at Kellett, we hope your relationship with us continues for life. The Kellett community spirit is strong and extends well beyond Hong Kong’s borders and the years that individuals spend at the school. More information can be found in OK For Life.

Applications are accepted two years prior to entry. In order to ensure that students can successfully access the curriculum we have a minimum expectation of prior attainment. This includes a minimum of five GCSEs at Grade B/6 or above including Mathematics and English. Students not achieving a C in English and Mathematics will need to resit in Year 12 and must pass before entering Year 13. The School also looks for at least a Grade B/6 in subjects to be studied at A level (with the exception of Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, French, Physics and Spanish which requires an A/7). Students in Sixth Form take three A-Levels as the default, requests for a four A-Level programme must be approved by the Deputy Head Academic and the Head of Sixth Form.
