Miss Dawn Hubbard is our Pastoral Team Lead. Our pastoral team works closely with external agencies and professionals in relation to families who require additional support. The pastoral team works with a variety of families and is always available to offer emotional and financial advice and support.

Our pastoral team also gives emotional and practical advice and support to families that are having long and short-term difficulties. By supporting families and facilitating groups they help parents and carers support their child’s learning and, ultimately, enjoy spending time with their children.
