Pastoral and Safeguarding

Every student is important to us and we ensure we identify and support each student’s needs.

Our pastoral system provides clear support for each child, from their form tutor to the senior leader in charge of care and guidance. Academic mentoring is provided for students to help them achieve their goals.

We currently have 20 Anti-Bullying Mentors who offer support to students, and our Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural (SMSC) programme addresses bullying regularly. Hethersett Academy was recently awarded the ‘B.I.G’ National Award for excellence in challenging bullying.

At Hethersett Academy, we are committed to keeping our students safe and happy. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead ensures that effective support is provided to students that need it and our strong pastoral system ensures that all students are well known and their needs understood.
