Pastoral care and organisation

Our pastoral system is one of a number of integral strands designed to ensure that your child’s time in Farringdon is both happy and productive.

Upon entry, each student is allocated to a tutor group in which we anticipate they will remain throughout their school career.

These tutor groups are carefully composed and are a reflection of the widest spectrum of primary school experiences, abilities and interests.

Each tutor is a consistent presence in your child’s life – someone who becomes known to them very quickly and who together with teaching staff will focus on ensuring your child feels safe and secure. This enables them to learn effectively and to fulfil their personal and academic potential.

Each year group has its own Year Manager who will remain with the children as they progress through the school. The Year Manager is the first point of contact for parents with regard to any issue involving your child.

Year Managers form part of the pastoral management team which is led by the Assistant Headteacher, Pastoral. They also form part of the Social Inclusion Team and they seek through these groups to ensure that the quality of pastoral care is consistently of a high standard and that it supports your child in becoming the best they can be.
