Pastoral Care at St Edmund's College
Pastoral care at the College is centred on knowing our students well, working closely with them and their parents throughout their time in their College to ensure we can provide the highest levels of personalised support whenever it is needed.
Support is founded on our House system with students allocated to a tutor group within their House. Tutors work alongside the Housemaster or Housemistress to oversee the personal and academic development of the student and to ensure this is an ongoing conversation with both the student and their parents. In Bounds (Year 7 & 8) and in the Sixth form (Year 12 & 13), Heads of Year provide an extra layer of support with Housemasters and Housemistresses providing continuity so that students can be supported effectively as they move through the school.
Pastoral care extends beyond any one individual, from the teaching staff and student leaders to our counselling service and our chaplaincy, there is a wide network and circle of care around the student, ensuring there is always someone they can turn to if they are having difficulties or simply want to talk something through.
