The work of the School’s pastoral team – made up of teachers and the heads of the various sections of the school – is at the heart of the way we look after our pupils. Their detailed knowledge of individual abilities and talents enables them to monitor pupils’ progress very attentively, and help them cope successfully with the educational and personal challenges they will meet in secondary schooling.

We give pupils individual attention and guidance and try to ensure they acquire the sensitivity to people’s needs and feelings that is required if they are to live happily with others.  Younger pupils benefit from working with senior pupils in initiatives such as the peer-mentoring scheme. They also develop positive relationships with older pupils through their participation in a number of extra-curricular activities and games organised by senior pupils.

Pupils are encouraged to play their part in developing a positive school community through their participation in assemblies and the School Council. By knowing every child socially, emotionally and academically, we can be sure that each pupil will flourish and acquire the confidence and self-belief to achieve a fulfilling and successful future.
