Here at Adcote School our pastoral care and support are excellent. We pride ourselves on being one large family and there is always someone to talk to. On arrival at the school, all girls in Year 9 and above are assigned a personal tutor. In the Prep School the form coordinator fulfils this role. This person will be the primary contact for the girls and their parents. Formal meetings are held every term between girls and their tutor, to discuss progress in both academic and pastoral matters. Boarders can also turn to any member of the House staff team to help with any problems.
Each area of the school has a Head of Section (Prep, Senior and Sixth Form). We also have a Head of Student Services and Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, for specific learning support and a counsellor comes to school each week if the girls wish to speak to someone from outside of school. Our Prefect team also run the ‘Student Voice.’ This is a forum where girls can seek help from a ‘big sister’ – often a vital link in any pastoral system.
