Junior School Pastoral Care

Your child’s wellbeing is a top priority at St Edmund’s School and we take a whole school approach to our delivery of exceptional pastoral care, creating the ethos of happiness and confidence that culminates in better engagement and the improved academic achievement of learners – all encompassed within the warm family atmosphere of the school.

Central to good pastoral care is the strong rapport between staff and pupils, made possible by small class sizes and shared experiences gained through a lively programme of clubs, activities, trips and tours.

We believe that when pupils feel safe, valued, and understood, they are far more confident to take risks in their learning, build positive friendships, and develop resilience.

Strong pastoral care means staff notice worries early, guide children through social challenges, and nurture important life skills such as empathy, and self-regulation.

It also strengthens the partnership between school and home, ensuring that each child is supported as an individual.
