Supporting academic progress and development
Pastoral Care
Every pupil has a Form Teacher, whose primary role is to support each child’s development throughout the academic year. Our Form Teachers are supported by a Head of Year who monitors the day-to-day academic and pastoral progress of the children.
Our subject teaching staff provide feedback to the Form Teachers throughout the year to ensure that a holistic view of each child’s performance in school is being obtained.
Pastoral care is a high priority in our school and is overseen by the leadership team of Deputy Heads and SENCo who meet regularly with the Heads of Year and the Headteacher to discuss how the children are progressing in all areas of school life. There is also a network of other staff working on each campus to support our pupils’ needs including our Chaplaincy team, Nurses and a trained team of counsellors. Staff and parents also have access to our School Psychologist to discuss areas of pastoral development.
These members of staff can be contacted at any time in order to discuss your child’s wellbeing.
