Pastoral Care

We have a strong system of pastoral care, which ensures that every child is known and treated as an individual. College students provide help and encouragement for the younger children by means of a mentoring system.  At Maltings Academy we work hard to ensure our students make the most progress possible. Our Heads of Year lead dedicated teams of tutors in order to maintain a high standard of support, care and guidance. Our Assertive Mentoring system enables parents and students meet formally with a member of staff, usually the tutor, twice a year. All of our tutors and indeed teachers are more than happy to speak to or meet with parents so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or questions.

Our links with our feeder schools are excellent, with an extensive programme of visits in the years before transfer to Maltings Academy. A central feature of our pastoral care policy is our belief in a partnership between parents and the school, both committed to the education of the child. We hold regular consultation sessions for parents and students.

We value each of our students as an individual and are aware that individuals have different characters and needs, yet each student is also a member of the school community and must respect the rights of the other learners. We encourage our students to display self control and good manners at all times.

We develop student leadership through our prefect system and the student council. Prefects take responsibility for the younger children and act as high-profile representatives of the school on all public occasions and the council members meet regularly to discuss current issues and help make decisions on how to improve student life at the academy.
