We are ambitious to build our capacity and strengthen our pastoral support within school. The impact of COVID has been significant on schools and led to students displaying more challenging behaviour. As part of our mission, we seek to ‘walk side by side with our students to help them grow’ and so we are keen that we have the capacity and skilled staff to provide early intervention and support for our young people. A key part of that support we are transitioning towards having Pastoral Leads. These are non-teaching staff, responsible for leading the year group. They will be supported by a Senior Leader and work alongside a learning mentor attached to their year team. In addition, the Pastoral Leader will be able to access support from the Student Support Manager and the suite of support provision within the school. We live out our Lasallian values of respect, faith, compassion, belonging and quality. This means your approaches must always be de-escalatory, aimed at building positive relationships and tackling inappropriate behaviour firmly but fairly; we call it being Lasallian.
