Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Care

The aim of our pastoral structure is to ensure that every child achieves to and beyond potential and enjoys their time at Chiswick School. We know that students need support and guidance to fulfil their full potential.

Students’ daily care and welfare is supported through the work of the school’s Tutor teams, led by a Learning Coordinator and a Deputy Learning Coordinator. The important work of the pastoral team helps the school to develop well-rounded students who will contribute to a positive school ethos.

Each Year group of 240 students is led by a Learning Coordinator and is divided into 8 form tutor groups of approximately 30 students. Each tutor group is led by a designated Form Tutor and this tutor will normally remain with the students as they progress through the school.

Tutors meet their tutor group every morning to:

take the register (the afternoon registration is taken during the last lesson of the day)
hand out information and notices
check on students’ readiness for learning
check uniform and equipment
follow up on any issues of behaviour, punctuality or attendance
encourage participation in extra-curricular activities
lead the Tutor Group in personal development activities and reading

Each tutor will support the learning and personal development needs of each child in their Tutor Group and is the first point of contact between school and home. The tutor is responsible for tracking student progress, attendance, achievement and behaviour and providing guidance and advice when required.
