Pastoral Team
Supporting every pupil throughout their journey at St Richard’s
Our pastoral team plays a central role in supporting pupils throughout their time at St Richard’s.
Each pupil is supported by a Personal Tutor and a Pastoral Leader, alongside a wider team to ensure pupils feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
We work closely with parents and carers to provide consistent care and guidance.
Who to Contact
If you have a question or concern, your first point of contact is:
- your child’s Personal Tutor
- your child’s Pastoral Leader
They will work with you to understand the situation and ensure the right support is in place.
