Pastoral Organisation

When students enter the school they are placed in a tutor group. Each group has a tutor who is responsible for ensuring that the students are making the best of their opportunities at school.

The head of year co-ordinates the work of the tutors and has the overall responsibility for all the students within the year group. Thus each child will have at least two teachers who will know about strengths, weaknesses, progress in academic work, involvement in extra-curricular activities and any other matters which may affect the child's well-being at school.

“The school makes very good provision for the welfare of the students. The school has a very effective pastoral system in which each student is valued and their strengths applauded. Any weaknesses are quickly identified and appropriate support provided.”
