As well as being a school noted for excellence in achievement, the quality of pastoral care we provide for our students is seen as a model of good practice throughout the County. We organise our system of pastoral care on a ‘Year’ basis and each student has a form tutor who is responsible for monitoring the welfare and progress of the group of children in their form. The work of the form tutors is coordinated by a team of Heads of Year,  supported by members of the Senior Leadership Team.

The Heads of Year will help new students entering the School, at any time in the year, to be welcomed into appropriate social and academic groups. As well as encouraging students to do their best within lessons, the form tutor and Head of Year monitor students’ progress, personal development and wellbeing, and encourage the involvement in extracurricular activities.
