A___________________
Kelly College offers a co-educational full and weekly boarding and day education for pupils aged 11-18 (Prep School 2-11). It is a school of 355 students, of whom about half are boarders. Kelly balances a good academic schooling with a strong commitment to a whole range of extracurricular activities. The routine is that of a full boarding school, with the staff fully involved 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The school is easily reached by road and rail, with links by air to Plymouth (16 miles).

Our aim at Kelly is to provide a happy, balanced and challenging environment in which boys and girls can fulfil their potential, develop their individual talents and respect one another as equals. We are proud of our heritage, and our reputation as a friendly school with a great sense of community and a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of our pupils.
D___________________
All pupils are members of one of the six houses, and boarders and day pupils are integrated throughout the school. Within the secure framework of the houses, we aim to achieve a proper balance between thoughtfulness towards others and freedom for individuals to develop their own personality.
E ___________________
In recent years, every leaver who has wished to proceed to higher education has done so. Small class sizes ensure individual attention, and a committed staff seek to work with parents to achieve the personal goals of each pupil, whether that be a place at a top university, international sporting representation or a chosen career.
F___________________
Art and music are central to the way of life at Kelly. The art centre is a highly successful and popular department; frequent exhibitions are held, both of student and of professional works. Kelly has a strong music department with pupils learning a broad range of musical instruments. There are two choirs and three orchestras and various ensemble groups. The performing arts centre is fully equipped for theatrical productions. There is a strong tradition of public speaking and debating, and many of the pupils study for LAMDA qualifications.
G___________________
Kelly has a strong sporting tradition, and has probably produced more Olympians and international athletes than any other school of its size. The major sports for girls are hockey, netball, tennis, athletics and swimming; for boys these are rugby, hockey, cricket, athletics and swimming. The school has an international reputation for its swimming coaching. Many other sports are available in the school.
