Student Well-Being
A Director of Learning, along with a team of tutors and school support officers has responsibility for the academic progress and welfare of the students in each year group. The pastoral year team check the progress of students in their care and support students to ensure the highest possible achievement. They are in contact with the Student Services team including the School Support Officer allocated to each year group.
All girls undertake a programme of Citizenship, Personal, Social & Health Education (CPSHE) which is designed to help them become more aware of themselves and others, be able to assess their own progress and improve their learning. The CPSHE programme is planned around the cross-curricular elements of the National Curriculum to develop the emotional and physical health and well-being of students.
