Pastoral Support & Nuture

What Pastoral and Nurture Support do we provide at our Federation?

At Tibshelf Schools Federation, we want to ensure all pupils physical and emotional wellbeing. A successful pastoral initiative means children and young people are cared for and can integrate well with our schools. Safeguarding is a big part of what makes up pastoral care at school. Safeguarding is about protecting children, preventing abuse and ensuring safety.

Across the Federation we use a variety of approaches to tailor support for individual needs.

. Our pastoral support includes:

• Being a point of contact for parents/carers
• Punctuality and attendance
• Low self-esteem and confidence building
• Difficulties developing and maintaining friendships
• Changes in behaviour that have a negative effect on learning
• Any issues that may arise around bullying
• Settling in of new children
• Supporting transition to the next class or school
• Anxiety
• Any issues that you as parents/carers have around routines or managing behaviours at home

We do this through:

• PSHE lessons to teach important life skills that students can implement in their own lives to better themselves
• Learning Mentor
• Use of Boxhall Profiles
• Nurture interventions including Zones of Regulation, Anger Gremlins, Anxiety Gremlins
• Positive 4 Young People (external support for families)
• Derbyshire Nurture Team
• Quick referral to external agency support if needed
• Working closely with SENDCo where needed

We are always available at the start and at the end of each day. Alternatively please contact the school office and we will have a chat or arrange a meeting to discuss any concerns you have.
