Laura supports the Heads of Departments in their curriculum planning and development.
Mike oversees the pastoral care of all children in Year 3 to 8, manages the school's rewards and sanctions system and supports the four Heads of House.
Francesca is responsible for leading on pedagogy development and teaching and learning activities, including overseeing pupil assessments and undertaking analysis of pupil outcomes.
Heads of Departments look after the teaching and learning in their departmental areas. They monitor the children’s performance and support the departmental teachers. They are responsible for assessment procedures in their departments and work with the Deputy Head Academic to develop a coherent and effective curriculum.
The Heads of House are responsible for the pastoral welfare of all the children in the House and for the work of the Tutors in their Houses. Heads of House work closely with the Director of Pastoral Care to plan for success in this area of the School’s programme, meeting frequently with the Tutors in their Houses to ensure that the progress of all the children is regularly reviewed.
Tutors are responsible for groups of 14 to 18 children, meeting them every day, maintaining their pupil records, supporting them and helping them to manage their lives. The Tutor is the parent’s first point of contact.
Pre Prep Class Teachers fulfil the same function as Tutors in Years 3 to 8. They know the children in their classes very well, providing information and reassurance in equal measures during the early school years.
Teaching Assistants support children’s learning in a variety of ways and provide a second adult in the class for all children in the Pre Prep. From Year 3 upwards teaching assistants are directed to provide support where there is particular need. Technicians are employed in the Science, Engineering and Art departments.
