Pastoral Care is a vital part of the ethos of Sackville School.  Our teachers are not only top classroom practitioners; they lead, inspire, excite and care. They have been chosen because of their passion for the job and their ability to relate to students and to support them in all aspects of school life.

Tutor Groups:

The school has a horizontal tutor group structure, with each year group spilt into groups with a Teacher Tutor overseen by a Head of Year.  The students attend registration with their tutor each morning and afternoon, and attend a Year group assembly every week. 

Tutors are parents and students first point of contact for any concerns about school and they will monitor student’s academic progress alongside providing pastoral support when necessary.  Tutors keep records of student’s rewards (merits) and sanctions (detentions) and will check school planners for notes and messages from home.

Heads of Year:

Heads of Year are senior staff who also form the Senior Leadership Team at the school.  They design individual plans to help children who need extra care and will work closely with parents to ensure that children receive the best support possible.
