Pastoral care is a provision schools make to ensure the physical and emotional welfare of their pupils. We all go through periods of difficulty in life, but sometimes these rough times are experienced at a young age when we do not yet have the experience to deal with them alone. Pastoral care can be extremely helpful for students when they are going through difficulties, providing opportunities to express themselves and guide them
through these times on a 1-1 basis. Pastoral care might involve, guiding, reconciling, peer support, mentoring, nurturing and many more and they are the person who is the link between school and home, with resources and contacts for support agencies that the family might need.
Here at St Ursula's our pastoral care lead is Mrs Walsh. She has been at St Ursula's for 16 years, but has over 20 years experience in a pastoral role. If your child or your family needs some support at this time please get in touch by calling or emailing the school where Mrs Walsh will be able to help.
