PASTORAL CARE
At Starling School, one of our major objectives is to provide the highest quality pastoral support, throughout the school. We believe that good pastoral support focuses on nurturing the individual needs of each pupil. We aim to build trusting and empathic relationships with all our pupils and their families. Starling school understands the importance of enabling the voice of the child to be heard, to promote safeguarding and well-being.
Pastoral care underpins personal development and we know from experience that with outstanding pastoral care, pupils feel they belong and their self-esteem is able to flourish because they feel valued and cared for.
We are a talking School, we encourage our pupils to share their concerns at all times. We work in partnership with the parent's council, to support pupils achieve their best, educationally, socially, morally and emotionally. Our pupils are encouraged to make the most of their time, so every effort is made to remove obstacles to successful learning and to equip them with the confidence and skills to be enthusiastic learners and effective members of the community.
Every member of staff is committed to supporting the well-being and emotional health of our pupils and their families. We are happy to speak to pupils and parents/guardians about any concerns they may have. However, our pastoral care support team is made up of Mrs. Mercy Ugbaja, Mrs. Josephine Okonedo our school counsellor and Mrs. Chino Balogun.
