Pastoral Care
Hello. My name is Mrs Eccles and I am Deputy Head here in school.
I have responsibility for the Pastoral care of our children. I'm sure that you have heard of the government's Every Child Matters agenda and here at St. Mary's, we aim to fulfil those aims.
There are 5 outcomes to 'Every Child Matters:change for children' -
Being Healthy so that they are physically, mentally, emotionally healthy, have healthy lifestyles and choose not to take illegal drugs.
Staying Safe from maltreatment, neglect, violence, sexual exploitation, accidental injury & death, bullying & discrimination, crime and anti-social behaviour in and out of school, have security and stability and be cared for.
Enjoying And Achieving so that they are ready for school, attend school achieve stretching national standards at primary,achieve personal and social development and enjoy recreation.
Making a Positive Contribution so that they engage in decision-making, support their community and environment, engage in law-abiding and positive behaviour in and out of school, develop positive relationships, choose not to bully and discriminate, develop self-confidence, successfully deal with significant life changes and challenges and develop enterprising behaviour.
Achieving economic Well-being so that they engage in further education, employment or training on leaving school, are ready for employment, live in decent homes and sustainable communities, have access to transport and material goods, live in households free from low income.
