Pastoral Care - Looking after and supporting the development of the “whole child”

Arrangements for Pastoral Care in Glasgow schools have been designed to provide a holistic approach to addressing the personal, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual (whether these come from a faith or non faith perspective) needs of every young person.

Young people are encouraged to make the most of their time at school and every effort is made to remove obstacles to successful learning and to equip young people with the confidence and skills to be effective learners and effective members of the community. All members of the school community have a role to play in assisting young people to be safe, nurtured, healthy, achieving, active, respected, responsible and included.

Pastoral Responsibilities of all Teachers

Pastoral Care is a process in which every teacher is involved and has responsibilities. The duties of every teacher include:

• promoting and safeguarding the health welfare and safety
  of young people.
• working in partnership with parents, support staff and
  other professionals.
• providing advice and guidance to young people on issues relating
  to their education.
• contributing towards good order and the wider needs of
  the school.
