Pastoral Office
Pastoral care is the provision the school makes to ensure the physical and emotional welfare of all students. A successful pastoral care programme means your child is safe, happy, involved and able to perform to their full potential, they are integrating well with other pupils and any problems are spotted and dealt with.
At Our Lady’s, this department is crucial in the everyday health and wellbeing of all our students. The pastoral office is a comfortable and welcoming environment. Students feel supported and listened to and staff are fully trained and equipped in all aspects of school life to support each individual in problem solving.
“So, what does a typical day look like in the pastoral department?"
At the start of the day we ensure all students are wearing correct uniform and are settled ready to learn. We work alongside parents and staff by being on call to support in any way. We organise reports, facilitate meetings and ensure the safety and welfare of students is at the centre of everything we do.
Conflict Resolution:
Students can sometimes fall out - it’s all part of the learning process and growing up. At Our Lady’s, conflict resolution is conceptualized as the methods and processes involved in facilitating the peaceful ending of conflict. Committed group members attempt to resolve group disagreements by actively communicating information about their conflicting motives or ideologies to the rest of group.
Our door is always open
