| We have a strong system of pastoral care, which ensures
that every child is known and treated as an individual. College students
provide help and encouragement for the younger children by means
of a mentoring system.
Our links with our feeder schools are excellent, with an extensive
programme of visits in the years before transfer to the John Bramston
School. A central feature of our pastoral care policy is our belief
in a partnership between parents and the school, both committed
to the education of the child. We hold regular consultation sessions
for parents
Homework is set regularly and is an essential part of the subject
study programme. Each student is provided with a personal organiser.
This is used both to record homework details and achievements on
a daily basis and to facilitate two-way communication between home
and school. Regular contact between home and school is encouraged
to provide each student with the support they need to make the
most of the educational opportunities available to them at the
John Bramston school.
We value each of our students as an individual and are aware that
individuals have different characters and needs, yet each student
is also a member of the school community and must respect the rights
of the other learners. We encourage our students to display self
control and good manners at all times.
We develop student leadership through our prefect system. Prefects
take responsibility for the younger children and act as high-profile
representatives of the school on all public occasions.
