Pastoral Care

Children are at the heart of all our teaching at Gateway School. Ongoing relationships with teachers, the close personal attention given to the children by staff, and a well-structured system of pastoral care, mean that our knowledge of each child's abilities and aptitudes is excellent.

We pride ourselves on providing a happy and secure environment where all successes are celebrated. Our ASPIRE values are used as the foundation for our pupils. These values are recognised through an established rewards system and scaffolded by our Learning for Life Curriculum, responsibilities programme, our mentoring system and the Mindfulness course that our senior pupils progress through.

Our excellent pastoral care is built on knowing every child as an individual, and with an ‘open door’ policy strong links are formed with parents, allowing for excellent communication between home and school.
