Pastoral Care is highly regarded at King’s but we are not complacent; we know that life can sometimes be tricky to navigate and there are occasional ‘bumps in the road’ and so we are proactive, flexible and adaptive in our support and well-being offering. We also pride ourselves on knowing our pupils extremely well which enables us to not only recognise when something is not quite right, but also to decide what support might be most appropriate, on an individual basis. We have a wealth of experience within our Pastoral Team who are dedicated to ensuring that our pupils are happy and thriving. Mandy Phillips, Deputy Head Pastoral.
