Peer mentoring
wellbeing questionaire every term that forms the basis of a **Pupil Pastoral Plan,** where they can note any private worries so that teachers may monitor their happiness and well-being. Our buddy system helps newcomers through their early days, and we encourage older children to mentor younger pupils, instilling a sense of responsibility. The school’s House system encourages teamwork and a competitive spirit, allowing children to celebrate their own success as well as the achievements of others. Whole school events and charitable activities foster a sense of pride in belonging to a wider community. > Relationships between staff and pupils are supportive and trusting, and consequently pupils are confident.
