Happy, secure students do better.

That is why it is just as important for us to be concerned about the welfare of our students as it is for us to focus on success and achievement.

Our support for students begins before they arrive with us in Year 7. Transition days for Year 6 students and our annual Summer School help them to become familiar with the Academy and meet key people. When they arrive at the beginning of Year 7, other students act as their starter buddies, meeting them between lessons and helping them to find their way around.

In all year groups our comprehensive pastoral care system includes a wide Team around the Year Group who work collaboratively to support any individual student in need of care, support or advice:

In addition to this some students receive additional interventions, which may include:

We also have interventions delivered in school by external teams, such as Leicester City in the Community’s Inspires mentoring programme, Play on Programme, UEFA Goals Programme and events for Young Carers.
