Wellbeing Support
Pastoral Care is fundamental at Swanwick Hall School to develop students’ health and wellbeing, build individual resilience and enhance academic achievements. The Sixth Form team strives to ensure that all pupils feel included, valued and supported.
At the centre of our pastoral support package is our Learning Mentor, Mr Lamb. Based in the Study Area, Mr Lamb is able to provide immediate support to students, liaise with parents, carers and teachers, as well as accessing further support as it is needed.
Academic support is provided by our Academic Mentor, Ms Laki, who’s role is to guide students through the difficult tasks of developing an understanding of their own motivations and interests, exploring future career options and opportunities as well as improving study skills while building motivation and resilience.
Assemblies are regularly held with the Head of Sixth Form providing important information and advising students of opportunities available to them within and outside school.
Tutor sessions and every morning, along with Personal Development lessons every Friday, provide a forum for gaining and developing knowledge and understanding on a range of issues affecting young adults and Sixth Form students.
Whilst every effort is made to support our students, some students may experience difficulties that we are not fully equipped to deal with and may require health professionals’ intervention. If you feel your child requires additional support we would strongly recommend that you seek the advice of your doctor to discuss your concerns as soon as possible.
Perhaps the most important advice is to be organised, to manage your time effectively, and to ask for help as soon as you need it.
