What I do ..........
I am tasked with guiding the pastoral direction of the school. That means that I oversee the pastoral systems, review and monitor how we are doing and how we could develop. I also look after Years 7&8 and coordinate the tutors and form teachers. The patrol (house) system, rewards, sanctions, responsibilities are monitored by me. We have a whole school approach to PSHE (Learning4Life) and I run this department. Probably my most important role is monitoring the profiles of all of the children in Years 3-8 to ensure that they are given sufficient opportunities. By the end of year eight all children should have had significant opportunities to shine and have been rewarded suitably when they deserve it. Equally I keep an eye on the records of poor behaviour on a daily basis and act accordingly. My wife Sophie and I are boarding house parents. I am a member of SMT and work closely with the deputy head and report to the head. I give a termly review to the governors.
