Pastoral Care
We know that pupils with better health and wellbeing are likely to achieve better academically. We also know that quality pastoral care in school is fundamental to the development of character and social skills, which will be of critical importance to children in later life.
An Inclusive and Supportive Environment
The school’s culture, values, and surroundings have a profound impact on the well-being and readiness of children to learn. We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere that empowers our children to reach their potential. That’s why at Cayman Prep and High School Primary, pastoral care is a top priority. We are dedicated to nurturing the emotional and social growth of our students alongside their academic journey.
Relationships
Pastoral care is the essential foundation upon which learning can take place and relationships are at the core of our pastoral care. We strive to know the children in our care. We nurture each individual child carefully, developing strong and meaningful relationships with them that will inspire and support them at school, and prove a foundation for their healthy and happy future.
First amongst these is the relationship with their class teacher, who will oversee their pastoral care throughout their time at Cayman Prep and High School Primary. Our class teachers work together with our broader well-being team. Led by the Principal and Head of Pastoral, our expert counsellor, school nurse, safeguarding leads and Additional Learning Support department form an experienced and deeply committed pastoral team.
