The aims of pastoral support at Shrivenham:
- To provide support that meets the differing needs of all children so that each child is equipped with the skills to cope with life.
- To support children to address social, spiritual, mental, emotional and physical needs.
- To maintain an atmosphere in which children feel secure, are encouraged in their learning, growth and social development and know that they are valued within a healthy and safe environment.
- To reassure parents/carers their children are being educated in a safe and nurturing environment.
- To encourage pupils to recognise and reflect upon our core values (Love, Hope, Courage) and accept that 'all things are possible for one who believes'.
- To work with a range of stakeholders, parents, support staff, outreach agencies and other schools to ensure the continuity and progress of individual pupils.
How does Pastoral Support work?
- Sessions can be individual or in small groups and tailored to the child’s individual needs.
- Sessions are fun and might include role-play, puppets, board games, art and craft, therapeutic or social stories and of course time to talk.
- A pupil’s progress will be reviewed on a half-termly basis.
Contacts:
- Pupils – any child in the school can ask to speak to our Pastoral Support Assistant or our Home School Link Worker if they have a problem or a worry at school or at home. They can do this by either approaching Mrs Bailey or by asking a member of staff. A suitable time will then be arranged to meet.
- Parents/carers – if you have a pastoral concern regarding your child then you can phone the school, speak to your child’s class teacher or make an appointment to see Mrs Cooper-Taylor via the school office. Please call the School office on 01793 782406 or email: office@shr.cambrianlt.or
'Leaders and staff know pupils and their families very well.'
