Pastoral care is the name given to a school’s commitment to improving and developing the mental wellbeing of each child. This is achieved by creating a school environment that is inclusive, friendly and child-focused. Plans and provisions are put in place which consider and include the physical, social, intellectual and emotional needs of every child so that we cater for everyone’s wellbeing.

Improving and nurturing our childrens' mental wellbeing has many benefits. How we feel about ourselves always carries into other areas of our life. When pupils feel positive, supported and looked after, often this has a positive effect on their academic progress and overall health too. This also begins to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to be in charge of their own wellbeing as they grow up.

Some of the areas we can offer support to your family include:
