The most important influences on a child’s values, attitudes and standards are those of family, home and community. We aim therefore, to work in close partnership with parents and carers to encourage all our students to have good manners, be kind and develop a sense of responsibility, self – discipline, respect for themselves, for others and for their environment. Our ‘Park family’ is at the heart of the school and the well being and happiness of our whole school community is a priority.
All staff have pastoral responsibilities and will support our students’ overall development and encourage the growth of wider skills and attributes, as well as their academic potential. While our specialist pastoral support team aims to provide a continual and proactive pastoral care system that values every child and builds strong supportive links with families.
Our pastoral system has both teaching Heads of Key Stage and non-teaching Heads of Year and reflects our commitment to support student well being. The Head of Key Stage and Head of Year will monitor, support, communicate and analyse all aspects of student development. The Head of Year will quickly establish relationships with students and their families, allowing for good home/school relations. They are both concerned about the progress, welfare, standards and safety of their students, working hard to ensure every student is known as an individual and achieves to the best of their ability.
