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.

Kew College Prep ‘Together’

Years 5 and 6 have been busy creating artistic masterpieces today with their gesso tile and mini canvas workshops today. The mini canvases are full of colour and creativity and the gesso tiles used the natural world as inspiration. We can’t wait for these to be on display at school soon 🤩

This week is Art Week and our specialist Art teachers have organised an array of workshops with visiting artists in different techniques and materials! Today Years 1 and 2 immersed themselves in creating spinner art, printed banners and beautiful 3D sea pictures. The sessions were a huge amount of fun and it was wonderful seeing the children bring their creative flair to each activity!
