The ‘Help Network’

A network of help exists to enable girls to reach their individual goals and tackle issues before they grow into problems.

Form Tutors and Year Heads provide pastoral care, advice on subject choice and help with academic or personal difficulties. This work is fully supported by the guiding presence of the Sisters.

The school’s ‘Big Sister’ scheme, in which younger pupils are attached to a Sixth Form mentor, creates a strong bond of care and understanding that spans every age group. Peer Mentors are trained and appointed to provide additional support.
