Pastoral Care

Woodhouse has a strong pastoral structure overseen by the Assistant Principal. Pupils begin and end each day with their form tutor who ideally stays with the form for their 4 years at the school. This gives the tutor the opportunity to get to know parents/carers and pupils well, deal quickly with questions and concerns, and to follow-up on any issues. PSHE is taught as part of the curriculum on a weekly basis; topics are planned across year groups.

There are four Key Stage Leads – Mrs McKeown and Mrs Wills for Years 5 and 6, Mrs Bowers and Miss Whitehurst for Years 7 and 8. These leaders run key stage assemblies, manage and support form tutors and step in to work more closely with children and parents if concerns require escalation.
