This is a key position within the school, focused on leading and delivering high-quality pastoral support to a designated year group. You will play a vital role in promoting a culture of high expectations, positive behaviour, and strong student engagement. Working closely with senior leaders, teaching staff, families, and external agencies, you will support students to succeed both academically and personally.
