Pastoral care at Kent College is designed to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued, respected and empowered. It is founded on relationships between students, parents, teachers, and support staff, working together to nurture and guide every student.

A dedicated pastoral team which includes our Deputy Head Pastoral, our Head of Sixth Form, Pastoral Lead, two Student Managers, our SENCO, Chaplain and our School Sister, is committed to providing personalised support to all our students. Through regular check-ins, one-to-one sessions, and group activities, we encourage open communication and trust, ensuring that every student's voice is heard and their needs are met.

The wellbeing of our students is a priority, and we promote mental health awareness and provide access to resources and counselling services, helping students to navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop essential life skills.

Beyond individual support, we create a sense of community through initiatives and events, including peer mentoring programmes, peer-led mental health projects, anti-bullying ambassadors, and community projects. By encouraging meaningful connections across the whole school and promoting positive relationships within and across year groups, students build a supportive network that extends beyond the classroom.
