At King’s College Wimbledon Ho Chi Minh City, pastoral care is central to the culture of the school. Every pupil is known, supported and encouraged to grow.
Pastoral care at the school is guided by a simple but important principle: pupils flourish when they feel valued and that they belong. This sense of belonging begins the moment pupils join the school and is strengthened through daily routines, House relationships and the steady guidance of tutors, teachers and peers. It reflects the Spirit and Heart values that lie at the centre of a King’s education.
Each pupil belongs to one of the King’s Houses, giving them a place within the school that feels familiar, supportive and secure. Through their House, pupils form connections across different year groups, allowing friendships to develop naturally and ensuring that every pupil has a network beyond their class.
Within the House, pupils:
These experiences help pupils recognise that they are part of a wider community within the school, one that encourages belonging, responsibility and mutual support.
Every House is led by a Head of House and supported by tutors who know their pupils well. Together, they oversee wellbeing, guide progress and model the values of Mind, Spirit and Heart through daily interactions.
Pupils begin to take on leadership in thoughtful, age-appropriate ways, including:
The emphasis is on leadership expressed through contribution, consistency and character
Tutor-tutee relationships ensure that every pupil is known well by a trusted adult who understands their strengths, supports their wellbeing and offers guidance as they grow. Over time, these relationships build trust, confidence and a strong sense of belonging within the school.
Alongside this, structured cross-age programmes allow older pupils to support younger ones in practical and meaningful ways. These relationships strengthen connections across the school and reflect the long-standing culture of King’s College School, Wimbledon, where community is shaped through guidance, responsibility and shared experience.
