The Pastoral Team at Bridgemary School

‘Pastoral’ is the part of our job that means taking care of our students and giving help and advice on various matters, whether it be related to their learning or something personal that is causing a barrier to their learning. Pastoral care is about looking after our students. All staff at Bridgemary School have a pastoral role – ensuring the general well being of our students. Key Stage 3 and 4 tutors in particular play a huge role, as they see the students on a daily basis and make it their business to get to know them well and recognise any potential issues that may affect their learning.

In addition, we have a more specific pastoral team consisting of:

• Head of Year 7 - Miss S Cooper

• Head of Year 8 - Ms S Roome

• Head of Year 9 - Miss S Hampton

• Head of Year 10 - Miss H Payne

• Head of Y11 - Mr E Ridley

• Pastoral manager - Mrs C. Doel

• Pastoral manager - Mrs K Taylor

• Pastoral manager - Mrs K Ovens

• Pastoral manager - Miss S Reynolds

We celebrate achievement through assemblies, certificates, presentation events and termly recognition for all our students who demonstrate their personal skills and development, from wearing their uniform correctly to helping out at school events.
