Pastoral Information (incl. Form Groups, Attendance etc.)

A dedication to pastoral care, positive and strong relationships at school and with families and careful monitoring of progress and understanding ensures the needs of every student is met, in addition to supporting every student at every stage of their school journey.  Coupled with an array of celebration and enrichment events throughout the year, the personalities, passions, and aspirations of every student in our care is cherished.

Form Tutors

Every student at La Retraite has a form tutor, and if you have any queries or problems, please speak to the tutor in the first instance.

YEAR 7

YEAR 8

YEAR 9

YEAR 10

YEAR 11

In any school, things can occasionally go wrong.  When that happens, we want to make it as easy as possible to address any issues for parents/carers.

A way of preventing problems from developing is for you to encourage your child to share any problem or anxiety with her form tutor, subject teacher, Pastoral Support Manager or Key Stage Co-ordinators, or one of the Assistant Headteachers or the Deputy Headteacher, however trivial it may seem.

Pastoral Support Managers

The primary role of the Pastoral Support Managers is to ensure the wellbeing of the students in their respective year groups.  They also act as Attendance Officer for their individual year group.   You can address any queries about any aspect of your child's education or any other pastoral issues to them:

Key Stage Co-ordinators

The Key Stage Co-ordinators are primarily responsible for the learning and development of the students in their year group(s) for all subjects.  You can address any queries about any aspect of your child's education to them:
