Pastoral Support

"Pastoral care, welfare and support are good". OFSTED (October 2004)

Within our School, we aim to create a harmonious and industrious environment which supports pupils in fulfilling their academic potential.' The progress, happiness and well-being of our pupils are of paramount importance. Considerable emphasis is placed on the provision of pastoral support. The Pastoral Team is led and managed by dedicated members of the Senior Leadership Team. Pastoral care is delivered through a Year system. Each Year has a Year Manager, and a team of Form Tutors who provide support and guidance, based on a firm foundation of mutual respect and tolerance. The School has a comprehensive system of rewards and sanctions which help to meet these aims. Every Year has its own Council, with each Year electing two representatives to the School Council, thus providing pupils with a voice in School affairs.

"Pupils spoke highly of the School Council and representatives are proud of its achievements". (OFSTED October 2004)

Our 'Home-School Agreement' affirms our commitment to providing a quality education for all our pupils.

"The successful relationship between School and parents is based on cooperation, mutual trust and respect. School has an 'open-door' policy and parents are always welcome to discuss their child's progress". (OFSTED October 2004)
