This is open throughout the school day. It is where the Assistant Headteacher of Pastoral Care, Year Leaders, SENCo and Pastoral Managers are based. To avoid missing lesson time, we encourage students to visit here before school, break, lunchtime or afterschool. They can use the area to celebrate their successes, have a ‘check-in’ with a member of staff or for any aspect of support.
Orange Card. These cards are similar to ‘worry boxes’ and are situated around the school. They are checked daily.
