Pastoral Support

 

Our Pastoral Manager/ DSL is Mrs Tennant who can be contacted through the school office if you have any concerns.

 

At Guardian Angels we believe strongly in caring for our children and families.  As part of our School Based Early Help offer, our Pastoral manager works with Parents and children in school. This pastoral role includes liaising with staff, parents, children and outside agencies to ensure the well-being of individual pupils is fully supported.  For the child, they are someone supportive to talk to, share successes with, or to provide help with difficulties or worries.

 

Our Pastoral help pupils make the most of school life by breaking down barriers to learning and helping to make school successful for them.
