Student Safeguarding & Wellbeing

At La Retraite we have an extensive pastoral team dedicated to supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of our pupils. 

Each year group has a Year Learning Coordinator, they are supported by three Pastoral Support Mangers, non-teaching members of staff who support the daily needs of our pupils across Year 7 – 11. 

By referral pupils may also be supported by one of our three Learning mentors or our behaviour mentor. Our Behaviour and Learning mentors support pupils with a range of issues and concerns, these might be academic, social or emotional in nature. 

We also have a full-time school Counsellor and an associated Mental Health in Schools Team, who support pupils with longer periods of therapy by referral. 

• Our school's Designated Mental Health Lead is Mrs Helise Martin 
• Our Staff Mental Health Lead is Mrs Sarb Ruprai.
