我们坚信，当年轻人感到快乐、安全和受尊重时，他们学得*好，我们的导师系统构成了我们出色的教牧关怀的支柱。We firmly believe that young people learn best when they feel happy, safe, and respected, and our tutor system forms the backbone of our outstanding pastoral care.

教牧关怀

作为一所相对较小的学校，我们所有的学生都受到个人认识、重视和肯定，导师是学生在 KPS 期间生活中的关键人物。在加入学校时，每个学生都会被分配一名个人导师，他将监督他们的进步和健康，并在他们进入学校的过程中提供个性化的支持和指导。导师在学生、他们的家庭和我们的员工之间建立重要的伙伴关系方面发挥着重要作用，这是我们学生成功的内在本质，并使他们能够茁壮成长。导师是任何日常或教牧问题的第一站，并通过每两周一次的回家进度电子邮件向家长提供定期更新的孩子的进步情况。Pastoral Care

As a relatively small school, all our students are individually known, valued, and affirmed, and tutors are key figures in pupils’ lives throughout their time at KPS.On joining the school, each student is assigned a personal tutor who will oversee their progress and wellbeing, and provide individualised support and guidance as they move up through the school. Tutors are instrumental in forging the essential partnership between our students, their families, and our staff, which is intrinsic to our pupils’ success and enables them to thrive. Tutors are a first port of call for any day-to-day or pastoral concerns, and provide parents with regular updates on their child’s progress through fortnightly progress emails home.

7年级和8年级在7年级和8年级，学生专注于为他们未来的进步奠定基础。学生在他们的学院与同年级的其他学生水平分组，同一位导师将在学生在 KPS学习的前两年一直陪伴他们。这不仅使学生、家长和导师之间的紧密沟通在学生的早期阶段得到发展，而且有助于学生建立对学院的强烈归属感，并在同龄人群体中建立持久的友谊。Years 7 and 8In Years 7 and 8, students focus on laying the foundations for their future progress.Students are grouped horizontally in their Houses with other pupils from their year group, and the same tutor will remain with tutees throughout the first two years of their time at KPS. This not only allows a close triangle of communication between student, parent, and tutor to develop during pupils’ early years, but helps students to build a strong sense of belonging to their House and forge lasting friendships within their peer group.

9 至 11 年级 在 9 年级、10 年级和 11 年级，学生被垂直分组在混合导师小组中，这使他们能够在进行 GCSE 学习时观察和向年长的同龄人学习。在这三年中，专门针对这个年龄段的导师会陪伴他们的学生，帮助学生选择GCSE和A level科目，并指导他们通过最重要的GCSE考试。导师支持学生平衡学术学习和课外活动，确保他们在校内外继续过着健康和平衡的生活方式。Years 9 to 11In Years 9, 10, and 11, students are grouped vertically in mixed tutor groups, which allows them to watch and learn from older peers as they approach their GCSE studies. Tutors specialising in this age range stay with their tutees throughout these three years, helping students to navigate their GCSE and A level subject choices, and guiding them through the all-important GCSE examinations. Tutors support students to balance their academic studies with their co-curricular pursuits, ensuring they continue to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle both inside and outside of school.

12年级和13年级在六年级，导师是指导和支持的重要来源，因为学生要平衡 A level考试和大学申请的压力，并为 KPS 之后的生活做准备。学生继续与根据他们的兴趣和抱负分配的导师垂直分组，因此可以充当榜样和导师。学生每周都会与他们的导师小组会面，这使他们有机会与可以提供宝贵见解和建议的年长同龄人讨论对A level科目的期望、复习策略、UCAS 和工作经验。导师在六年级的整个学习期间都与他们的学生在一起，并在我们的大学和职业计划的实施中发挥着关键作用。Year 12 and 13In the Sixth Form, tutors are a vital source of guidance and support as students balance the pressures of A level exams with university applications and preparing for life after KPS. Students continue to be grouped vertically with tutors who are assigned on the basis of students’ interests and ambitions and can therefore act as role models and mentors. Students meet with their tutor group weekly, which gives them the chance to discuss the expectations of their A level subjects, revision strategies, UCAS, and work experience with older peers who can provide valuable insight and advice. Tutors remain with their tutees throughout their time in the Sixth Form, and play a key role in the delivery of our University and Careers programme.

学院制

KPS 的学院制度在培养学校内部存在的强烈社区意识和各年级组的相互联系方面发挥着关键作用。House System

The House system at KPS plays a key role in fostering the strong sense of community and interconnectedness across year groups that exists within the school.加入 KPS 后，每个学生和教职员工都会被安排在四个 KPS 学院之一，这些学院以伦敦消失的河流命名：Fleet、Effra、Walbrook 和 Tyburn。每个学院都由一名教学人员的学院负责人领导，以及两名在 10 年级结束时选举产生的学院队长。这使中学部的学生能够承担责任并培养重要的领导技能。On joining KPS, each student and member of staff is placed into one of the four KPS Houses, named after the lost rivers of London: Fleet, Effra, Walbrook and Tyburn. Each House is led by a Head of House who is a member of the teaching staff, as well as two House Captains who are elected at the end of Year 10. This allows students within the Senior School to take on positions of responsibility and develop vital leadership skills.我们的学院将来自全校的学生聚集在一起，帮助打破年级之间的障碍，让高年级学生成为他们学院中低年级同龄人的榜样和导师。学生在学校的整个学习期间都将留在他们的学院，这确保了他们培养强烈的归属感，并鼓励忠诚、承诺和友情。我们的学院制度还通过为学生提供一个较小的“家庭”来巩固我们的德育关怀，让他们在更广泛的学生群体中建立联系。Our Houses bring students from across the school together, helping to break down barriers between year groups, and allowing older pupils to act as role models and mentors to younger peers in their House.  Students will remain with their House throughout their time in the school, which ensures they develop a strong sense of belonging and encourages loyalty, commitment, and camaraderie. Our House system also underpins our pastoral care by providing pupils with a smaller ‘family’ with which to identify and connect within the wider student body.KPS House是我们奖励系统的核心，是自豪感和友好竞争的重要来源。学生通过体贴、善良和乐于助人的行动以及学习*和体育、音乐或艺术成就获得学院积分，让每个学生都有机会根据自己的能力为自己的学院做出贡献。每学期都会举办受欢迎的学院间比赛和活动，向学生传授团队合作和协作的价值，以及如何在胜利和失败中保持优雅。在每个学期结束时，得分*高的学院将……旅行或奖品。The KPS Houses are at the heart of our rewards system, and are a considerable source of pride and friendly competition. Students earn House points for thoughtful, kind, and helpful actions as well as academic performance and sporting, musical, or artistic achievement, giving each pupil the chance to contribute to their House on their own merits. Popular interhouse competitions and events, which take place each term, teach students the value of teamwork and collaboration, as well as how to be gracious in both victory and defeat. At the end of each term, the House with the most points is rewarded with a house trip or prize.
