Meet the Pastoral Team
The relationships between staff and pupils are very positive and the pupils feel well cared for.

Year 7
Mrs Williams and Mrs Oakey head up the team who work each year to ensure the smooth transition and warm welcome of our incoming Year 7 students. This starts right from the time families are notified in Year 6 that they have been allocated a place with us, through settling into the routines and rhythms of the first year at secondary school, and handing over in the summer of Year 7 to the new Heads of Year who will take the year group forwards.
The Year 7 Hub is joyfully managed by Mrs Tully.

Year 8
Moving on from Year 7 is an important step as students start to feel more established and confident, and they begin to explore in more depth the subjects they study. Mr Smith is providing the steady guidance our current Year 8 students need to make the most of their year.
The Year 8 Hub is beautifully managed by Mrs Heard.
