Pastoral care

Children spend a significant amount of their life at school and we ensure that all our pupils feel secure when they are in our care. Pastoral support is a strength at The King’s School; teachers prioritise building positive relationships with their classes and pray for them regularly.

In primary the main level of pastoral support is provided by class teachers. With small class sizes teachers have the opportunity to know each child individually, understanding not only their strengths and weaknesses, but also their joys and concerns. They have time to listen to each child and support them during their time in school as they develop both academically and in character.   

Pastoral care in the senior part of the school is provided initially by form tutors, and is overseen by the Pastoral Leads. Each day begins with a devotional tutor time. This allows opportunity for tutors to get alongside the pupils in their group, developing relationships and getting to know them as individuals. Our Learning Support Team is available for those who require additional support.

Parents are always welcome to come and talk to teachers and tutors as we work together to best support every child.
