Our commitment to Pastoral Care is reflected in the various initiatives we have in place to support our students. Our dedicated counsellor is available once a week to provide both formal counselling sessions and a listening ear for pupils who simply need someone to talk to. These interactions take place in our specially designed Nurture Room, which also serves as a retreat for students needing a break from the classroom environment.

In addition to our counsellor, many of our Teaching Assistants are trained in various support techniques, including Lego Therapy, to offer a diverse range of resources to cater to the unique needs of each child. We recognise that every student’s journey is distinct, and our Pastoral Care programme is designed to be adaptable, nurturing, and responsive, setting us apart from other private primary schools.

However, our dedication to wellbeing extends far beyond these specific programmes and services. Pastoral Care is not seen as an add-on to our curriculum but is deeply ingrained in every aspect of our school culture. From the nutritious meals we serve to the way we communicate with one another, every detail is carefully considered to create a positive and supportive environment.

Our innovative timetable design, combined with our expansive grounds and ancient woodland, allows our Forest School-trained staff to take lessons outdoors, ensuring that our pupils connect with nature and learn in a dynamic and enriching setting. We encourage our students to be observant and compassionate, fostering a strong sense of service to others through acts of kindness, community involvement, and charitable endeavours.

Physical health and mental wellbeing are fundamental pillars of our educational approach. Weekly games, P.E., swimming, and dance classes form an integral part of every class’s schedule, in addition to a wealth of enrichment opportunities available to our pupils. By promoting active and healthy lifestyles, we equip our students with the tools they need to lead balanced and fulfilling lives.

In essence, Pastoral Care is the heart of Mylnhurst, and it is the bedrock of our commitment to nurturing confident, well-rounded, and compassionate individuals who are well-prepared to face the challenges and embrace the opportunities of the world that awaits them.
