Pastoral
Care
-
Much
emphasis is put on producing a friendly, caring
atmosphere.
-
Form
teachers are responsible for the welfare and progress of
all pupils in the school up to and including Year 11.
-
In
the Sixth Form all pupils belong to a small tutor group
for which the same teacher will usually be responsible
throughout the two years.
-
There
is an excellent Parents Teachers Association where elected
parents and staff can exchange ideas designed to benefit
the welfare and education of the children.
-
A
Personal Development programme providing information and
guidance on many subjects including the dangers of
substance abuse, gives the opportunity for students to
discuss issues they will meet as they leave childhood.
Involving
Parents
-
Detailed
personal reports are written at the end of the 1st
and 3rd term. In the 2nd term a
brief progress report is sent, but all parents are given
the opportunity to meet subject teachers.
-
At
the beginning of each term a newsletter informs parents of
news, achievements and events to come in the term ahead.
-
A
School Calendar is sent to all parents at the beginning of
every term.
-
At
Parent Evenings, teachers are available to outline pupils
achievements and aims and to discuss strategies for
achieving their goals.
-
Students
Diaries are issued to all pupils. As well as a homework
record, the diary forms a vital path of communication
between parents and teachers.
-
Parents
wishing to discuss their child’s progress have access to
all teachers through an appointments system, and the
Headmaster and his Deputy are always willing to meet
parents at any time.
