Pastoral Care

All students will be in mixed-gender tutor groups within Year 7.

Mr O’Brien is the member of the Senior Leadership Team with responsibility for pastoral care. He is also our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) which means he is able to respond to any concerns over student safety or wellbeing.

Your Form Tutor is the key person responsible with your welfare, guidance and academic progress. You will see a tutor for 1 hour Personal Development lesson each week (including Relationships and Sex Education) plus you will see them for Form Time every day.
