Mayville High School Prospectus

WELLBEING &
PASTORAL CARE
We believe that pupils learn best when
they have self-esteem, self-confidence
and self-knowledge. We are proud
of the excellent reputation we have
for our high quality pastoral care, having
been recognised as ‘Excellent’ in this
area in our most recent ISI report.
Our dedicated Senior Pastoral Team work closely with
class teachers (Key Stage 1 and 2) and tutors (Key Stage
3 and 4) as a first point of contact for any issues, concerns
or worries they may have. With our teaching staff also
forming a central part of our robust safeguarding system,
we ensure we have not one but many nets to catch
a pupil who may be struggling.
It is our collective mission that pupils are happy,
purposeful and fulfilled. We understand the huge
impact mental health and wellbeing can have
on a child and their progress. Close liaison with parents
and guardians is integral to securing the best possible
outcomes for pupils – this will be both informative
and responsive, as your child makes their way through
the School. Wellbeing is central to our educational
philosophy – encompassing Character Education,
PSHEE, Academic and Pastoral support as a whole,
to deliver a unique and individual education where
happy children can thrive.
“Pupils enjoy school, have a keen sense of belonging
and thrive in the family atmosphere created
in a tight-knit community where all ages mix.”
ISI Inspection Report
We firmly believe the key to our success is in knowing
each child well, as individuals. This is aided, in part,
by our small class sizes but, more significantly, because
of our outstanding pastoral system. Our culture is
founded on carefully-integrated schemes of academic
and pastoral monitoring, meaning that the potential
in every child is identified and nurtured. We enable pupils
to know and understand themselves – surpassing their
potential, towards their own individual excellence.
