The children at Hazlegrove are surrounded with care. That care includes at its core, staff for whom going many extra miles is an everyday thing, and who unashamedly make time to talk about the children.
A Tailored Pastoral Approach
Our tutors are the children’s greatest advocate; they are their first port of call at the start of every day and importantly, the first point of contact for the parents. Tutors meet weekly to discuss children and pastoral issues, and the Heads of each Section – Pre-Prep, Lower School, Middle School, Upper School, Boarding and Counselling, meet as a Pastoral Leadership team. Our 'All Around Care' approach (shown below) illustrates the depth and richness of the pastoral care at Hazlegrove. It is supported by smaller nurture groups, all of which offer a tailored pastoral approach to each child.
Guiding Our Children
Tutor times, assemblies, PSHE and Wellbeing lessons are the obvious vehicles for us to help guide our children along their journeys. Dedicated and passionate staff model good behaviour and support the school in galvanizing those values which we hold dear – integrity, courage, grace, kindness, generosity, and respect – as well as the shared values of our parents, which support them in the raising of their children. Pastoral care is indeed a team effort, and we value and encourage the support and involvement of our parents.
Happy children make happy learners and the wellbeing of our pupils is so important.
