the Pastoral System @ denbigh

IN 2007 there will be 4 x 20 minute tutorial sessions per week + 1 x 20 minute assembly.

These sessions are timetabled & attendance is compulsory, as it one of the main methods for distributing important documents & information

Tutorials are one of the main means of providing our Pastoral Care:

• a regular Thought for the Week challenges the students to form & consider their own opinions on matters of relevance
  
  

• Tutorial activities that support and supplement Personal, Social & Health Education [ P.S.H.E. ] throughout the School
  
  

• Mentoring of students, to help guide them in their studies & lives.
  
  
• Diary checking

the Denbigh PSHE programme...

The School’s PSHE programme encourages and supports all aspects of students’ development and includes opportunities for students to review their learning and to discuss their progress.

PSHE is taught across the curriculum, supplemented by a programme of visiting speakers. 

Sex education is part of the School’s Health Education programme.

Consultation and discussion with the governors is undertaken in accordance with the Sex and Relationship Education guidance.

A copy of the school’s Sex and Relationship Education Policy document is available on request.

Parents have a right to withdraw their children from sex education lessons.

Collective Worship:

A planned programme of contemplation, which takes the form of assemblies, provides students with the opportunity to consider spiritual and moral issues and to explore their own beliefs.

Parents have the right to withdraw their children from the programme of collective worship. 

An alternative arrangement for the supervision of the children during this time will have to be agreed between the Head Teacher and the parents.
