Pastoral Care
Hazlegrove fosters a nurturing community where every child’s wellbeing is paramount. Tutors are the children’s greatest advocates, offering daily support and being the first point of contact for parents. They meet weekly to discuss pastoral matters, while our pastoral leadership team meets twice weekly to address individual and broader concerns. Tutor times, assemblies, RE and PSHE lessons are the more formal avenues through which staff support our children’s social and emotional development.
