Pastoral Care and the House System

Caring for students

The School has a proven and deservedly strong reputation for the pastoral care of students. 

Heads of Year have strategic oversight for the attendance, behaviour and progress of students in their year group. They take the lead role in setting standards, rewarding student success and issuing sanctions where required. Each Head of Year is supported by a Pastoral Learning Mentor whose key responsibility is supporting the safety, welfare and emotional well-being of the students in their year group.

There is a team of ten form tutors in each year group. Wherever possible, we ensure that form tutors stay with their groups until they reach the end of Year 11. Form tutors therefore get to know the students in their tutor groups exceptionally well, and they should be the first point of contact for parents with any concerns relating to their child’s progress or well-being.

Close contact is maintained with parents and carers to celebrate students’ achievements and provide support where there is concern.

Safeguarding
