At St Andrew’s we take the care of our students very seriously, ensuring that they are happy and healthy in order to be able to study effectively and enjoy their time with us.
Every one of our students is unique and requires different levels of support at varying times. Our pastoral care has been rated as good and we take pride in the levels of attention, care and support that we can give our students.
Our team of House Parents, nurses and personal tutors, who meet with students weekly, led by our Deputy Head of Boarding and Pastoral, are here to support our students’ wellbeing and are available anytime to talk to individual students and indeed parents about any concerns.
Our Mental Health Lead is available by appointment.
