The King’s Hospital School policies are designed to ensure that students achieve their full potential while they are a part of our school community and are underpinned by our missions, ethos, and values, which were refreshed in 2023 through collaboration and dialogue with our school community.

Diversity & Inclusion
At the Kings Hospital School, we understand that diversity on its own does not translate into a successful learning environment if not paired with equity and inclusion. Our mission is to embed these values into the fabric of our school to ensure that our entire staff, student body and all members of our school community feel included, supported, and valued.
Strong focus on anti-bullying
The King’s Hospital School aims to create a positive living and learning environment, which focuses on respect for the individual. All members of staff share a collective responsibility, under the direction of the Headmaster, to act in preventing bullying or aggressive behaviour by any member of the school community.
The King’s Hospital School promotes habits of mutual respect, courtesy and an awareness of the interdependence of people in our community. We aim to create an atmosphere that encourages students to disclose and discuss incidents of bullying behaviour, sexual harassment, racism, and any form of discrimination. We also recognise the role that parents play in the task of making our school a pleasant and safe environment for all.
