Pastoral Care
Robert Clack believes the care of the individuals within our community is of utmost importance and to that end we have a highly developed pastoral system. This care initially lies with the Form Tutor, assisted by the Head of each Learning Community Leader.
Parents have an opportunity to build relationships with the Form Tutor and Heads of each Learning Community Leader through the use of the student contact book, telephone calls, letters and also parent's evenings. In addition to this we have a well developed school mentoring programme which provides for the personal and academic needs of our learners.

Care, guidance and support are outstanding. Students are positive about the effective pastoral system that contributes to the 'family-like' community in the school. Students feel safe in school, supported by the high levels of supervision throughout the day. There are outstanding links with local authority and other external agencies so that vulnerable students including looked after children are well cared for. Careers advice and support are excellent and ensure that students are well informed about the options available to them for the next stage of education and working life. Systematic whole-school procedures rigorously check on students' academic progress. Day-to-day guidance to students on how to improve their performance is very effective.
