Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Care Team

We take great care to ensure that our pupils feel supported at school. Our caring ethos ensures that we put the well being of everyone at the centre of all we do. We have a pastoral care team in school. This includes Mrs Jo-anne Gee and Mrs Ele Sutton whose role is to oversee pastoral care, our SEND leaders, Mrs Farrell (SENDCo) and Mrs C Sutton (SENDC0) also provide support and guidance.

When might we offer help?

When children want to talk about any worries.
When children want some help and advice before moving on to another year group or secondary school.

Where will pastoral suport take place?

In the Cosy Corner or in the Rainbow Room through group work or 1:1 sessions
