Article 3: Adults should do what’s best for you.

Woodfarm High School seeks to create an environment which maximises the opportunities for every pupil to learn and to achieve his or her potential. All teachers have a role to play in ensuring that pupils are cared for and supported.

The Pupil Support Team has a special part to play, providing a supportive pastoral relationship with each pupil throughout his or her time at Woodfarm. In this way we ensure that every pupil is known to one teacher who can be turned to for help. The Pastoral Support teacher will offer advice and support on personal, curricular and vocational issues as young people move through the stages of secondary education.

Dialogue with the Pastoral Support teacher supports effective target setting and assists young people through the personal learning planning process.
