In addition to Pastoral Care, Personal and Social Education is planned and taught by the Pupil Support Leaders to ensure pupils learn about and can discuss matters such as healthy relationships, health, progress in learning, careers, education and citizenship.
Teenage years can be difficult for some young people and our Pupil Support staff play an important role in helping pupils who are experiencing challenges in their education or personal lives. During Parents’ Evenings there are opportunities for parents/carers to meet Pupil Support Leaders, however if you have concerns about your child’s progress or matters of a personal nature, you can contact the school to make an appointment with the relevant House Team.
