Pastoral Care

The school aims to promote a `culture of success’ and sense of security within the community.

Every child has the right to be happy and to enjoy learning, which is why we nurture positive behaviour and celebrate individuals’ effort and achievement in all areas of school life.

There are clear links between pastoral care and the recognition, rewards and discipline policies. Every child is encouraged to think of others, respect differences and develop the skills of being a good citizen. In the context of the Christian message, time spent in Chapel is crucial in supporting this ethos.

Pupils have daily contact with their Form Tutor who plays a pivotal role in communicating information about pupils to staff and parents. A strong, trusting relationship between pupils and their Form Tutors is the ideal, although pupils are encouraged to discuss important issues with any member of staff they choose. In the first instance, parents are invited to express any concerns about their child’s progress or happiness to the Form Tutor.
