Pastoral
It is the sense of being cared for as an individual which enables each girl to achieve her full potential.
At the heart of learning is the well-being of our girls. We strongly believe that pastoral care is an important element of education at all stages of a girl’s development.
The fundamental principle underpinning our pastoral programme is to know and understand our girls well and, thereby, support their development towards adulthood.
Great emphasis is placed on the partnership between home and the school, allowing us to strive towards the best possible outcomes for
all of our girls. Whilst all staff play a key role
within the pastoral system, the Form Tutor and Head of Year are the main points of contact for parents during a girl’s school career. They monitor a girl’s academic, personal and social progress within the school and are overseen by the
Deputy Head, Pastoral.
