Pastoral Care
As a Pastoral Care Manager at Blueberry Park Primary School, I work with children and their families, to reduce barriers to learning and to help raise self-esteem. Therefore, enabling the children to reach their full potential and to receive a full all-round education.
My work is to compliment and support everyone involved in the teaching of the children, and to promote a safe, secure and happy environment in which the children can learn.
I work with the children on a one-to-one basis, in group work and with the class.
A drop-in service is provided for families between 9am and 9.30am, and 3pm and 3.30pm. Other times can be arranged if more convenient.
