A strong, caring system to support every student.
Pastoral care
At our school, we understand that a child’s wellbeing is just as important as their academic success. That’s why we have a strong, caring pastoral system in place to support every student throughout their school journey.
Support in school
We want every child to feel safe, heard, and valued. If a student is ever worried—no matter how big or small the concern—they can visit the Pastoral Hub (for Key Stages 3 and 4) or the Sixth Form Office. There, they will find trusted adults who will listen, guide, and support them with kindness and understanding.
Our dedicated Pastoral Team, including Year Leaders and Key Stage Administrators, take the time to get to understand a student’s needs. They are committed to building positive relationships and ensuring that every child feels confident, supported, and ready to thrive.
Parents
We also believe that strong communication with parents and carers is essential. If you ever have a concern or simply need reassurance, we encourage you to get in touch. We are here to work in partnership with you to support your child every step of the way.
You can contact the relevant Year Leader via enquiries@shsb.org.uk, or reach out directly to the appropriate Key Stage Administrator:
