Student Services

Student Services works with and offers support to all students and Learning Zones in the school. Under our umbrella are the School's Chaplain, Learning Mentors and Counselling Service. Although they now belong to a specific area within the school, there will be no compromising of the confidentiality rules under which these invaluable people have always worked. Our Counselling Service is able to call upon externally trained and accredited counsellors when appropriate. We also work to meet the needs, both of those children who are challenged by the mainstream curriculum and those who have special talents and abilities.

Student Services is responsible for providing support for students whose behaviour difficulties are such that their own learning and that of others around them is being continually compromised. This will include drawing up effective Pastoral Support Programmes, employing the extensive expertise we have available within school, as well as bringing in agencies from outside where this is needed.

We are also aiming to develop the Behaviour Management Unit, which in the past has only been able to serve as an internal exclusion facility, into something much more pro-active where children can learn to confront, evaluate and modify their own conduct for the benefit of all.
