Pastoral Support
 

There is a strong pastoral support structure based, in the first instance, around the Form Tutor.  Every day there is a meeting between the Form Tutor and Form; a ten minute registration period is scheduled for the beginning of the day.  It must be stressed that this is seen as an important contact period and parents are urged to see that all students are in the building in good time so as to attend registration at 08:00.

There is a single Tutorial Period on one day of each week, thus giving scope for a developing relationship between student and tutor.  The majority of teachers have been assigned to a tutor group and are in close contact with that group.  This leads to a monitoring of progress, both academic and social, within the confines of the students' peer group.

In addition to the channels outlined each student is under the overall charge of a Head of Year.   S/he is involved with the overall pastoral care of the students and as such you or they can approach him/her.  It is best to make an appointment via the Senior School Secretary.
