Pastoral Care
The pastoral care in school complements that of the home. The staff act in “Loco parentis”, i.e. in place of the parents and respond to the needs of the children accordingly. To ensure the safety and welfare of pupils there are a few simple rules, which require the children to show care, courtesy and consideration at all times.
In school we strive to provide a warm and caring environment in which the children will want to learn and develop their talents as fully as possible. We hope parents will share our aims, firstly by making sure that their children come to school on time, refreshed, correctly dressed and ready to work, and secondly, by taking an active interest in all aspects of their children’s work and behaviour.
These members of staff are dedicated to looking after the social well-being of our children.
Learning Mentor and Family Worker: These two members of staff are dedicated to looking after the social well-being of our children. Our Family Worker is available to support children as part of a family unit and the Learning Mentor works with individuals or groups of children who are finding it difficult to integrate with others and so not learning as well as they might.
