PASTORAL CARE

For the children, we have distilled all that is important to us at Stroud into our three rules for how we do it here:

We are Aware… We are Ready… We are Kind

Form Tutors

Your child’s form tutor is their main point of contact. They are responsible for your child’s welfare in school and should be your first port of call if you have any questions or concerns. As appropriate, this will then be shared with the Head of Upper Prep or other appropriate senior staff.

Wellbeing

Each day begins with an extended form-time and this will allow us to ensure that pupil wellbeing takes a central role in our weekly timetable. During these morning Wellbeing sessions, we run whole school assemblies, teach our PSHEE and Citizenship curriculums and enjoy other activities to maintain our strong sense of community across the school.

Houses

Each child is allotted a House: Bulldogs, Greyhounds or Terriers. They collect House Points for their house and compete in house events throughout the year. Year 6 House Captains are responsible for leading their house in assemblies, running events and helping to build morale.

Prefects

In Year 6, all children are given the leadership responsiblity of becoming a Prefect. Prefects take on extra responsibilities, such as dining room duties, and schemes such as reading buddies, which see them mentoring our younger children. They will also offer support in House Family events and sit on Pupil Voice forums.

At the end of Year 5, children have the opportunity to apply for some specific Prefect roles. These include Heads of School, Head of House and Sports Library and School Council Captains.
