All staff in St Thomas Aquinas R.C. Secondary School have a clear responsibility for the welfare of young people. In addition, all young people are allocated a Pastoral Care teacher on entering the school.
This provides a vital link between home and school as the Pastoral Care teacher has an ‘all-round’ picture of a pupil’s progress and general health and well-being. In almost all cases, a parent’s first point of contact with the school will be the Pastoral Care teacher.
Other support for pupils is provided by class tutors in the first 10 minutes of each day and by the Support for Learning Team is required.
We are fully committed to meeting the needs of all pupils and hold regular meetings at which we plan for those who might benefit from additional support. Full discussion is held with parents and carers and outcomes are planned and agreed in partnership.
