Prep - Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care is at the very heart of the School. Our aim is to create a happy, supportive, secure, stimulating and nurturing environment for all children, in which they can develop emotionally, socially, spiritually and intellectually to their full potential. 

Our ethos enables children to feel confident in celebrating their successes, as well as developing those qualities that cannot be defined by academic success: interpersonal skills, leadership potential, self-awareness and mental and physical resilience. 

Your child’s class teacher is their primary source of pastoral care, but additional support is available from all staff. The School also has access to a professional counsellor.
