Pastoral Care
We strive to foster student wellbeing and develop the resilience and character that we believe are fundamental to students being happy and successful members of society.
Every sixth former will be allocated a Tutor to support with the transition from Year 11 to Year 12 and who focuses on wellbeing and progress. Every student will spend registration with their tutor every day. They also have a one-hour assembly each week that brings the whole year group together to enjoy talks from visiting speakers, as well as an opportunity for the Year Leader to share information and celebrate achievements.
Each Year Leader leads on pastoral care within their respective year group, and is supported by a Deputy Year Leader, who is a non-teaching member of staff based in the sixth form study room. The Deputy Year Leaders offer a range of interventions including mentoring, attendance support and welfare check-ins.
We also employ two counsellors on site to support students further with their wellbeing. Please click here for more information.
