We have a strong pastoral care system at Alleyn’s and although students remain part of their House, we mix up the tutor groups to give the Upper School a new identity. This helps integrate the students that join us in the sixth form as well as offering a new experience for our current students.
Entering Upper School can correlate with a time of excitement but also expectation, ambition and pressure about the future, as pupils move onto the next and final stage of their schooling journey. We are here to support them every step of the way! Not only do we have a dedicated Upper School pastoral team focused on supporting our senior students, but a pastoral care centered approach is interwoven into every facet of school life. Pupils will have a relationship with their Head of House, someone who will know them well outside of the classroom setting and who can be a figure for advice and support, and of course their teachers are always there for guidance.
