Pastoral care
At GDST schools we aim to care for every student as an individual. Sometimes this means a student will need extra support when facing difficult personal circumstances, or struggling with a particular subject or topic. At other times this means giving her the freedom to reach for the stars.

The high quality of pastoral care makes a significant contribution to the personal growth, security and happiness of our pupils. This is invaluable, giving them the confidence to believe that someone will always be there for them whenever they feel the need.

Pastoral care and welfare are strengths of our schools, creating an intensely caring, supportive and safe community for all staff and pupils.

This is mirrored by our emphasis on pupils taking responsibility for themselves and their learning.
