A very warm welcome from the Admissions Team at Mount Kelly School Hong Kong; thank you for your interest in our School. Choosing the right school for your child is an important step to nurturing the right learning habits and to building the education pathway for your child’s future successes. The Admissions Team is ready to guide you through the process allowing you to open new doorways to quality British education starting here in Hong Kong.
Our Admissions Procedure is seamless and comprehensive; we will guide you through five simple steps of: Meet; Apply; Assess; Invite; and Offer. We believe that each child and family is unique and we therefore invite you to meet with one of our Admissions Officers to begin your journey. During the first meeting, we aim to find out as much as possible about your child and what you are looking for in a school. We will then provide you with information about Mount Kelly School Hong Kong and how we meet the needs of all of our learners. You will learn how our core education values developed from over 140 years of experience in delivering a high standard of education in the United Kingdom, and how a Mount Kelly education will benefit the unique qualities of your child, paving the way to outstanding opportunities at premium high education establishments. On choosing Mount Kelly School for your child’s education, the subsequent procedure is designed to evaluate your child’s suitability for the School and which informs our teachers in their planning for your child’s individual learning.
The aims of this policy are to:
Mount Kelly School Hong Kong (MKSHK) follows the English National Curriculum incorporating an international understanding of culture and society. The School has a strong UK Independent School ethos following its sister school, Mount Kelly, UK, in terms of its values, curriculum and holistic education. English is the School’s language of instruction and all pupils are expected to be proficient in it according to their age. MKSHK assesses children for entry ensuring that they can access all aspects of the curriculum and to aid planning for teaching and learning. The evaluation of children seeks to ensure their happiness and well-being within the environment we offer. As such, the School is not selective solely on an academic set of criteria.
Equal Opportunities
MKSHK welcomes children from different ethnic groups, backgrounds and creeds. Human rights and freedoms are respected and are balanced within the lawful requirements of Hong Kong and the rights and freedoms of others. All candidates for admissions will be treated equally, irrespective of their or their parents’ race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, birth or other status.
Disability and Special Educational Needs
Presently the School has limited facilities for children with disabilities and special educational needs but will do all that is reasonable to comply with its legal and moral responsibilities under the auspices of Hong Kong law. The School should be made aware of any known disability or special educational needs which may affect a child’s ability to take full advantage of the education provided at the School. Parents of a child who has any disabilities or special educational needs should provide the School with full written details at registration, or subsequently, before accepting the offer of a place.
The School requires this information so that, in the case of any child with particular needs, we can assess those needs and consult with parents about the adjustments which can reasonably be made to cater adequately for the child’s needs both during the admissions process and if an offer of a place is made.
Similarly, if special education needs or a disability become apparent after admissions, the School will consult with parents about reasonable adjustments that may allow the child to continue at the School.
Our admissions procedure is designed to evaluate your child’s suitability for MKSHK and which informs our teachers and their planning for your child’s individual learning. The admissions procedure is reviewed by the Admissions Office in order to ensure each child will benefit from an MKSHK education. We invite you to schedule an appointment to meet the Admissions Team in our Tsim Sha Tsui Admissions Office.
