Pastoral Care
 |
The supervision, care and welfare of individual pupils are the responsibility of Form Teachers, who register the pupils twice daily and closely monitor their progress.
Pupils of all ages in the school are also grouped vertically in Houses. This arrangement provides the possibility of competition, in matters of work, games and conduct, and allows senior pupils to exercise initiative and responsibility. The four Houses (St Alban, St Christopher, St Francis and St George) meet regularly, and business is conducted by Housemasters and Housemistresses who come from the teaching staff from all levels in the school. House Captains and Vice Captains are selected from the pupils to help organise and coordinate House activities.
Responsible behaviour is encouraged amongst the pupils at all times, within a clear disciplinary framework. Pupil-teacher relationships are based upon a sympathetic, yet firm, approach, which we believe to be essential for all children during their formative years. Pupils are actively encouraged to develop an awareness of their responsibilities towards each other as well as towards adults. When necessary, discipline is enforced through detention or loss of privilege.
The staff and the Headmaster are always available for parents to discuss any matters or problems associated with school life.
