Pastoral

Each year group is split into two halves called Stockton and Appleton. There are five tutors for each half of the year group. The work of the tutors is managed by a Pastoral and Achievement Leader (PAL) and a Pastoral and Achievement Manager (PAM) who has overall responsibility for pastoral matters in each year group. This pastoral support is further enhanced by Assistant Headteachers who coordinate pastoral work across each Key Stage. In addition we have a number of colleagues in school who can provide more specific student support if needed or arrange access to a range of outside agencies. The pastoral team meet regularly to review progress.

A young carer is a child or young person aged 18 or under who helps look after a family member who is ill, disabled, experiencing mental health difficulties or struggling with drug or alcohol use. This could be a parent, sibling or another close relative.
 
Some children begin caring from a very young age, while others take on responsibilities suddenly because of changes at home.
