Our Pastoral provision is very carefully structured and is reviewed regularly. This ensures that each pupil’s experiences of the excellence and opportunities afforded to him/her are nurtured in a supportive, caring and disciplined environment. Each Year Group is divided into Form Classes. The Form Tutor assigned to each class focuses in building a good relationship with each pupil and delivers a programme of Personal Development. The work of Form Tutors in each Year Group is led by a Year Head. The Vice-Principal (Pastoral) is responsible for co-ordinating the pastoral care system. Form classes meet with their Form Tutor each morning for registration. This also provides opportunity to progress any concerns. School assemblies are held on Monday and Friday and Year Assemblies are held regularly, providing opportunities to celebrate success and develop collective responsibility. Cookstown High School encourages consultation with parents who should contact the Year Head in the event of individual problems. Opportunities to discuss a pupil’s progress are provided throughout the year at Parents’ Evenings, Whilst the Pastoral team aims to support pupils in their personal development and in times of personal, family or social difficulty, some pupils may benefit from the opportunity to discuss difficulties with a trained counsellor. Each Tuesday a trained counsellor with ICSS is available in school as complementary support. Staff are committed to providing pupils with a safe, pleasant and happy environment. Our Child Protection policy is revised annually. Concerns of a Child Protection nature should be directed to Mrs C Allen (Designated Teacher) or to a member of the Safeguarding Team.
