Pastoral
At Wicklewood Primary School and Nursery, we have a team of professionals who get together each week and review the Pastoral and safeguarding records on Arbor and CPOMS (our MIS and digital tracking/safeguarding systems). In the team we have the following staff who, in addition to their designated responsibility, will support and challenge all members of the team in all aspects of the team’s work. (School Charter)
- Deputy Headteacher: Mr Harry Woolacott: Senior Leadership, Safeguarding, Behaviour, Curriculum and Attainment
- SENDco: Mrs Larni Grant: Safeguarding, SEND and Senior Leadership
- Pastoral Lead: Mrs Frances Thacker: Safeguarding, Attendance, Parental Support, Pupil Premium, Young Carers.
- Mental Health and Drawing and Talking Practitioner: Mrs Rachael Wolstenholme
- ELSA Practitioners: Mrs Abigail Knights and Mr Jack Vincent
- Lego Therapy Practitioner: Mrs Karen Bush
Each member of the team will help to provide guidance and resources for children and families experiencing barriers to learning at school. They will also provide challenge and support for each other as we monitor the quality of the provision at WPS and how well it supports children in meeting or exceeding national expectations. Each term there are specific agenda items identified by the Senior Leadership team and the governing body. These are recorded on the School Operational Overview where we evaluate provision in the particular aspect of the Pastoral Team's work:
- Anti-bullying
- School Values
- Equality and Diversity
- Learning Powers
- Travel Plan
- Policy review – safeguarding/attendance
- Safeguarding Review
- Full attendance check
- Persistent absence
- Lateness
- The quality of play and learning during lunch and break times
- Peer mentors
- School council
- Eco council
- Prefects
- Head boy and girl
Following each meeting, members of the team will undertake actions and or policy changes as required. In line with GDPR, records can be made available to parents where they have information about their own children. No other child’s information should be shared with families; in this instance, records must be redacted. All folders and discussions are confidential; see School Charter and Confidentiality Policy.
