Pastoral

Every pupil is assigned to a Form Group in the care of a Form Tutor. The Tutor holds a key position in the life of St. Mary's and is the first point of contact between home and school. Their primary responsibility is to monitor the welfare of each pupil to ensure their academic, social and spiritual development.

The Tutor sees members of the form daily to establish and articulate clear expectations to each pupil in order to cultivate appropriate standards and attitudes for participation and success in all areas of school life.

Each years group has assigned to it a Head of Year who meets regularly with the Form Tutors to discuss individual pupil progress. Year Heads are supported by the work of the school's Teaching Mentor, Education and Welfare Officer and a non-leading Pastoral Co-ordinator. A spirit of unity and co-operation is secured through whole year activities such as assemblies, residential visits and whole year liturgies.
