Our pupils thrive within a caring and purposeful community where wellbeing is valued alongside academic success. We work in close partnership with families, guided by open communication and shared expectations.

Our pastoral care is built on the belief that happy, confident children learn best. Central to this is our focus on 'Mental Wealth' – helping children develop emotional resilience, self-worth and positive relationships so they can thrive both now and in the future.

Strong, trusting relationships sit at the heart of our approach. Each child is supported by their Class Teacher (Pre-Prep) or Form Teacher (Prep), who knows them well and is the first point of contact for pastoral care. This consistent relationship ensures every child feels known, valued and secure.

Emotional wellbeing is monitored carefully, with additional support offered when needed, including the ELSA programme. Pastoral values are reinforced throughout school life, from PSHE and assemblies to daily interactions, and are underpinned by our core values of respect, kindness, humility and honesty.

We are fully committed to ensuring every child feels safe, happy and supported, and work closely with parents to provide the very best care.
