Pastoral Support
To ensure children feel safe and supported throughout the school day, we offer:
-
Cosy Club: Available during some lunchtimes, this welcoming space acts as a peaceful haven for children who may find unstructured times overwhelming or challenging. It’s a nurturing environment where children can relax, reflect, and receive gentle support.
-
Get Set and Go Club: We recognise that some children find the start of the school day difficult. This club provides a soft start to the day, giving children the time and space to settle in gradually, helping to ease anxieties and promote a positive beginning to their learning.
-
Therapeutic Forest Sessions: For children needing extra social or emotional support, we offer therapeutic forest sessions within our beautiful outdoor environment. These sessions use the calming and restorative power of nature to help children develop resilience, improve social skills, and manage their emotions in a supportive, hands-on setting.
Pastoral care at Radwinter CofE Primary School extends beyond the children themselves. Mrs Hibbs also works closely with families and groups of children to provide holistic support that strengthens home-school partnerships.
We are committed to ensuring our staff are equipped with the knowledge and skills to support children’s wellbeing effectively. Through regular Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and training, we maintain best practice approaches and ensure that all staff understand and can deliver the pastoral care our children need.
If you feel your child could benefit from additional pastoral support, or if you would like to find out more about our pastoral programmes, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Hibbs or the school office. We are here to listen, support, and work with you to ensure your child’s wellbeing is prioritised every step of the way.
At Radwinter CofE (VA) Primary School, pastoral support is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing a caring, happy, and secure environment where every child can flourish. Through dedicated leadership, specialist clubs, and strong partnerships with families and staff, we nurture the whole child—emotionally, socially, and spiritually—reflecting our Christian vision and values in all we do.
