Pastoral Care - Year 9 gosfield Road
Message from the Head of Year: Mr Cornmell
It is a pleasure to lead a year group that shows a commitment to striving for excellence in their conduct and academics.
The year group have made a tremendous start following their transition from the lower school site. They have adjusted well to their new surroundings and are working hard in class, in some cases beginning BTEC courses that will continue through to their GCSE year.
Towards the end of this year the pupils will have to make options choices for their GCSE courses so will hopefully consider this as they talk with their teachers and careers advisers over the course of Year 9.
Pupils are being empowered to achieve their target grades and make two levels of progress by the end of Year 9. Communicating with their teachers on how they can overcome concerns and climb the ladder of success is essential.
Mr Cornmell

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.
