Why Pastoral Care Matters
At St Edward’s, we understand that children thrive when they feel secure, valued, and encouraged. Academic excellence is only part of the story — our pupils also develop resilience, confidence, empathy, and independence.
Our pastoral system ensures every child is known personally and supported throughout their school journey.
Our Pastoral Care Network
We provide dedicated support every step of the way, combining expert staff, personalised guidance, and unique wellbeing initiatives:
Form Tutors Who Move With Your Child
- Pupils have a personal tutor who stays with them as they progress through the school, building a deep understanding of their academic and personal growth.
Full-Time Student Care Lead
- A central point of support for any pastoral concern, ensuring every pupil receives consistent guidance.
Wellbeing Nurse & School Nurse
- Experts on hand for physical and mental health, giving both pupils and parents peace of mind.
School Counsellors
- Professional guidance and support for emotional wellbeing, resilience, and personal challenges.
Wellbeing Dog
- Our friendly wellbeing dog, Ted, helps pupils feel relaxed, reduces stress, and fosters a positive, supportive environment.
The pastoral team at St Edward’s made our daughter feel safe, happy, and confident from day one. She knows she is supported at every step of her school journey.
