A guide to pastoral care at St Joseph & St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School
Effective pastoral care underpins children’s personal development. At St Joseph & St Teresa’s school, we know from experience that with outstanding pastoral care, children feel they belong and their self-esteem is able to flourish because they recognise that they are valued and cared for.
We believe that good pastoral support focuses on nurturing the individual needs of each child, working alongside parents/carers and external agencies to ensure children make good progress in all aspects of their lives during their time with us.
We want everyone involved with our school to feel well supported.
We aim to create empathetic relationships with all our pupils and their families, which are built on trust. Together, we work with children and their families so they can lead fulfilling and balanced lives whilst at school and beyond.
My role in school:
How Can My Child Access Bespoke Pastoral Support?
All staff in school are very approachable and I offer an ‘Open Door Policy’ before, during and after school hours.
Therefore, in the first instance, if you have any concerns about your child’s emotional well-being and how this may be impacting on them and their education, your first port of call should be their Class Teacher, or to me directly, so that we can work collaboratively to create an action plan and implement strategies to support learners in self-esteem and confidence building activities.
