Pastoral care and pupil wellbeing is at the very heart of our provision at Abingdon Prep and the mutual respect between child and teacher is evident throughout our school. We pride ourselves on knowing and celebrating each of our young people as individuals, supporting them so that they enjoy their time at school and flourish. All children at Abingdon Prep have a designated form tutor who is overseen by the section head, with the Deputy Head (pastoral) having responsibility for pastoral matters across the entire school. In the younger years, your child’s form tutor also teaches many of the lessons, helping to further nurture and strengthen the bond between them. As the children progress into the middle and senior sections of our school, their form tutor continues to be the first point of contact for pupils, parents and other members of staff. All of our staff play an important role in the delivery of our pastoral care programme, which revolves around three main pillars - being kind, getting involved and the pupil voice. Each of these components is underpinned within our curriculum and in our extracurricular offering; and is regularly reinforced through games, events, themed assemblies, pupil groups and our School House system. Every pupil is allocated into a House when they join Abingdon Prep, allowing them to get to know children of all ages. This helps to create a supportive, inclusive and respectful school environment and helps to foster leadership and communication skills in our young people, making them more confident and resilient.
