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.

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. Prefects take responsibility for the younger children and act as high-profile representatives of the school on all public occasions.
