PASTORAL CARE
Excellent teaching is not the only requisite for a good
education. In order to achieve their potential pupils
need to be healthy, feel safe, be happy and enjoy
learning. Pastoral care at Stafford Grammar School
is outstanding. Our small classes enable form tutors
and Heads of House to know each of their pupils
really well. Every pupil is valued and respected as an
individual. We place great emphasis on close contact
with parents, believing that issues are best addressed
together and as early as possible.
“During his time at Stafford
Grammar School, we have
watched our son grow into
a young adult of whom we
are very proud.”
Pupils become members of one of our three houses:
Anson, Fitzherbert or Talbot. The thriving house
system is at the heart of the school community and it
provides pupils with continuity and strong communal
bonds. Through this, pupils benefit from a large
number of competitions ranging from baking and
public speaking to the Polyathlon, in which houses
compete in a wide range of sports. The houses also
compete in our annual swimming gala. The emphasis
is on friendly rivalry, co-operation, building selfconfidence
and widening participation for all pupils.
The school nurse liaises closely with pupils, parents,
teachers and outside agencies to secure the well-being
of each pupil.
