Pastoral Care and Safeguarding
Pastoral Care lies at the heart of everything we do. Put simply, every single one of our staff members – both academic and support – make the well-being of the boys their number one priority.
Individuals who feel cared for, valued, and supported can get on with their day and their work enthusiastically without undue worries.
Our duty of care is led by each pupil’s form teacher in the first instance, as they know the individual best and can spot very quickly if something is not quite right. If they feel further assistance is required, they will involve the school counsellor for additional support. Weekly staff meetings afford colleagues the opportunity to raise any concerns they may have with the Senior Leadership Team. The school’s ‘Wellbeing, Health and Safety Hub provides and ideal environment in which pupils can raise any concerns that they might have or simply spend some quiet time. The weekly wellbeing club is available to anyone who might wish to attend.
If any of our parents have any concerns, they are actively encouraged to contact their child’s form teacher and meetings can usually be arranged without appointment, either first thing in the morning or at the end of the school day.
