Student Support Overview
There are many structures and processes in place to help ensure that the transition from primary to secondary
school is as seamless and as joyful an experience as possible.One of the most important features is, of course, the new relationships that Year 7 students will build with friends, Tutors, teachers and every individual with whom they come into contact in the school.
We have a peer mentoring programme so that friendly and knowledgeable Senior School students
can share their tacit knowledge of our values and beliefs with new students. Tutors, the Head of
Year, the Deputy Head of Year and the Head of Section are all part of an efficient and dedicated
team working to solve problem on behalf of all students.
Additional key members of the student support team upon whom students can call for advice and
with whom they build strong relationships are our school counsellor, social worker, and Medical
Officer. They, along with other members of staff in the Guidance and Achievement team, oversee
students’ academic, social, emotional and physical progress.
An array of administrative support is also on offer to assist students who encounter problems with the
use of Intranet, Internet and other IT.
