PASTORAL CARE

At the Prep School, we want to allow our children to be children whilst also guiding them purposefully on a journey towards being socially responsible, independent young learners. We seek to nurture and develop human qualities such as: character, curiosity, creativity and intrinsic motivation. The way in which our children collaborate and communicate with one another; the thinking and learning skills which they bring to their school experiences all matter to us. These often invisible elements, are key to helping children strive for high academic outcomes whilst preserving their emotional well-being and self-esteem.

Our pastoral care begins with a phone call to get to know your child before their first day at school and continues with an approach that will know them as individuals throughout their journey with us. Daily time is spent with their form tutor and buddy system. Our house system includes belonging to a ‘family’ of mixed age-group children. We give our children roles and responsibilities to encourage them to develop a true sense of community spirit.

Our assistant head, pastoral, leads a team which includes specialists in emotional literacy, who offer a safe, well-being space for those needing a little extra care. The approach to ironing out those small problems that can arise is always proactive, positive and restorative, and underpinned by our values led approach.
