Kellett School Opens Dedicated Sixth Form Campus Next Month in Its 50th Year
The British independent school is relocating its entire post-16 cohort to a purpose-built facility in Kowloon Bay, offering A Levels and the IB Diploma to up to 240 students.
Kellett School will open a dedicated Sixth Form Centre in August 2026, according to Little Steps Asia, relocating its current Year 11 and 12 students to The Bay Hub on Kai Cheung Road in Kowloon Bay, directly opposite the school's existing secondary campus and connected to it by a footbridge.
The two-floor facility spans 3,716 square metres and can accommodate 240 students. It features more than a dozen classrooms, independent and collaborative study areas, a small lecture theatre, a Harkness discussion room, Higher Education counselling suites, and a PE theory room with fitness monitoring equipment. The design is explicitly modelled on a university environment, intended to ease the passage from school to degree-level study.
A levels and Hong Kong's post-16 picture
Kellett offers both A Levels and the IB Diploma. In 2025, 81 students sat A Levels at the school, with 60.6% achieving A* or A grades. The new centre arrives as demand for A-level provision in Hong Kong is visibly expanding: Nord Anglia International School opens its own sixth form in Hung Hom this August, and the two developments together represent the most significant broadening of post-16 choice the city has seen in years.
The timing carries extra weight for the institution itself. Kellett was founded in 1976 as a not-for-profit school, meaning surpluses are reinvested rather than distributed to shareholders. Its 50th anniversary coincides with the opening of the new centre and the start of a longer refurbishment programme at the original Pok Fu Lam campus, planned to run over several years and including upgrades to classrooms, the library, and music facilities.
