Pastoral Support

Pastoral support in our school is a critical aspect of pupil wellbeing.

We focus on creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment, where children can thrive both emotionally and academically. This support often includes addressing students’ emotional and social needs, offering guidance, and promoting resilience.

Building trusting relationships with pupils allows us to provide early help, helping children feel secure and understood, which can significantly impact their sense of belonging and their capacity to learn.
