Pastoral
Pastoral Care
The good behaviour of a pupil is seen as part of the total education of the pupil. The staff and governors believe that the establishment of good behaviour is a shared responsibility between parents and teachers.
Principles we strongly encourage are:
- positive attitudes to school work and the wider community
- good relationships with peers and adults
- respect for persons and property
- opportunities for exercising responsibility.
Praise and reward for good attitudes help to create a positive atmosphere where pupils have the opportunity to succeed.
Pupils are involved in developing a respect for our school. The school council meet with teachers on a monthly basis. In this relaxed atmosphere representatives put forward ideas from their class, discuss and evaluate these and decide on action to be taken.
Once a week a special Assembly takes place where pupils are complimented on their achievements - curricular, sporting, creative or social - and certificates are presented.

Emotional Wellbeing Coach
Sam Goodchild-Fry
I have the pleasure of working with young people (and adults!) to understand and work with their emotions, and importantly to listen to what they are trying to tell us. I help them find their own solutions to whatever challenges they may be facing, including anxiety, anger and low self esteem using a strengths-based approach.
