Pastoral Care
One of the more outstanding aspects of our school is pastoral care. Our staff take great pride in the supportive and respectful relationship we enjoy with our pupils and their families. Our pupils know that their contribution to the life of the school is valued. Our emphasis is on developing a culture of care and kindness for all.
St Wystan’s provides an in-depth level of pastoral care through its small class sizes in which each child nurtured. Our dedicated staff know our pupils individually, both in terms of their academic ability and social and emotional well-being. At St Wystan’s we are a proud and supportive family, we look out for each other showing care and respect to every individual.
Pupils’ achievements, in whatever area of life, are celebrated by the whole of the school and, through our School Council, the opinions of our pupils are acknowledged and acted upon. Leadership qualities are developed through specific responsibilities in class and our Form 6 pupils perform an invaluable role as school prefects.
St Wystan’s take great care to ensure our behaviour structures support our pastoral provision to ensure our children leave here as well-balanced individuals.
Learning Support
We are committed to ensuring that all pupils reach their full potential, including those with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND). If a pupil is diagnosed with a specific learning difficulty, our SENDCo works closely with the child’s class teacher to set individual targets and measure progress. Extra support and interventions may be offered in class, in small groups or individually.
