Pastoral Team

A close up of two students in class

At KEHS, we prioritise the well-being of our students and strive to provide a nurturing environment for their personal growth.

Our pastoral support network comprises dedicated individuals who are always ready to listen and offer guidance. We understand the importance of accessible and compassionate care, and we are here to ensure that our students’ well-being is our top priority.
