Pastoral

Our pastoral system aims to ensure that all students are able to achieve their potential, supporting both their academic and social well-being. We are proud of our “happy and safe in this inclusive, welcoming school” Ofsted 2022. The welfare and guidance of students has a high priority: the Pastoral Leaders work hard to establish positive, effective and supportive relationships with each student.

All students are valued as individuals and encouraged to achieve their best. This support takes place in a climate of high standards and clear expectations where there is consistent recognition of effort and achievement and success is celebrated.

Form Tutors play a key role in supporting the academic progress and personal development of students. Each tutor makes a point of getting to know the students in their care well and monitors their attainment, attitude, behaviour and all-round welfare and development. All tutors are first point of call for communication with parents. Pastoral Leaders support the work of Form Tutors and, oversee the behaviour, attendance, progress and development of the year group as a whole.

The work of the Pastoral Leaders is overseen by our Deputy Headteacher; Ross Gallacher.

Attitudes and Behaviour

Great importance is placed on high standards of work, behaviour and appearance. The support and co-operation of parents in this respect is most important. We ask that when issues arise, parents communicate with us. We will always look for solutions to easily resolvable issues before implementing the behaviour policy.

All staff are able to impose short after school corrections and keep students until 4pm without notice. This is however rare as our corrections are for 10 minutes or 20 minutes for a repeat or missed correction. Students who are late are required to stay for 10 minutes plus every minute they were late (i.e. 2 minutes late equals a 12-minute correction). Parents are expected to support the school’s Behaviour Policy and our use of sanction. We expect students to learn how to take responsibility for, and manage their behaviour so that they are able to achieve.
