Pastoral Care Your child’s happiness and wellbeing are at the heart of everything that we do at the Prep School. Our aim is to nurture your children as members of the Habs family, offering a safe place for their learning and play. They are educated in a happy and inclusive environment, in which they can thrive and demonstrate their wonderful personalities. Small class sizes allow opportunities for personal care and staff take huge pride in knowing each pupil individually so that all of them can achieve their potential. There is a great synergy between pastoral and academic progress and when pupils are provided with strong foundations, they will succeed. Teachers are proactive in their engagement with parents and will regularly provide positive and constructive feedback on how your child is progressing. We actively encourage pupils to attend the many co-curricular clubs on offer to acquire new skills

and learn the importance of giving new things a go. Pupils engage in House activities, where friendships are across year groups. The House system plays a very important role in each pupil’s pastoral progress with each of the four House Leaders working closely with form teachers to retain a pastoral oversight of every pupil in their House throughout their time in the Prep School. House meetings are held regularly to celebrate the achievements and facilitate a sense of community and teamwork in which pupils come together to achieve common goals. To encourage leadership qualities, there are numerous positions of responsibility to which pupils can aspire: House Captains, Form Captains, Librarians and Art Monitors, as well as School Council positions such as Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, all which are elected by their peers through a democratic process.. Our school values underpin what it means to be a Habs pupil. Pupils are awarded ‘value badges’ when they consistently display those attitudes and strengths. Kindness is fundamental and pupils are taught to empathise, support and help each other. Pupils leave the Prep School happy, well rounded and ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that await them in the Senior School.
