Pastoral care permeates all aspects of school life. It reflects the values, attitudes, beliefs and practices of our Christian faith and involves all members of our school community – children, parents and all other adults who contribute to the well-being of each child.
The Pastoral Care dimension deals with the physical, social, emotional, moral and academic needs of pupils. The caring of the teachers in the school will be evident in all aspects of the child’s school life.
It is the aim of our school to provide a warm and caring environment in the school so that each person, both child and adult, associated with the school, can feel safe and secure.
