Pastoral Care at the Heart of BCS

At BCS, pastoral care sits at the very centre of everything we do and is the foundation of daily life in our school community. We are committed to nurturing the whole child and believe that children thrive academically when they feel safe, happyand supported. Creating an environment where pupils feel valued, listened to and emotionally secure enables them to approach their learning with confidence, curiosity and resilience. 

Supporting children’s mental health and encouraging healthy lifestyle habits is woven into the fabric of everyday school life. Our aim is to ensure that each child’s day is both productive and enjoyable, underpinned by strong relationships, high levels of nurture and a consistent pastoral presence from staff who know them well. 

Wellbeing & PSHCE

In school, we offer a bespoke Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship (PSHCE) curriculum, which is enhanced through initiatives such as our weekly Friday Reflection and World Journal. In addition, all pupils take part in a timetabled weekly Wellbeing lesson, providing dedicated time to explore emotional literacy, self-awareness, positive relationships and strategies for maintaining good mental health. 

Targeted Pastoral Support

We are also able to provide more targeted emotional support through a range of pastoral interventions, including Emotional Literacy Support (ELSA), Lego Therapy and small-group nurture sessions. Our pastoral provision is further strengthened by the addition of a qualified school counsellor, who works on site each week. 

Physical Wellbeing & Outdoor Learning

Our commitment to wellbeing extends beyond the classroom. A rich programme of timetabled sport, swimming and games promotes physical health, teamwork and confidence, while our termly outdoor learning days and Learning Outside the Classroom (LOC) weeks encourage pupils to connect with nature, build resilience and develop independence through outdoor learning experiences. 

A Safe Space to Share

As part of our support network, pupils are able to access an online Worry Box app via their school iPads. This allows them to share concerns either anonymously or by name, request support, or simply let a trusted adult know that something is on their mind. In addition, each classroom has its own physical Worry Box or ‘Worry Monster’, offering children a simple and safe way to communicate any concerns with their teacher. 

Celebrating Wellbeing

To further promote the importance of positive mental health, we host a termly Wellness Week, during which pupils can choose to spend lunchtimes engaging in calming and restorative activities such as yoga, crafts, mindfulness or reading. We also take part in Children’s Mental Health Week each February, where pupils from Kindergarten Nursery through to Year 6 participate in age-appropriate activities and discussions focused on emotional wellbeing and the importance of caring for both their minds and bodies. 

Through these opportunities and the strong relationships built each day, we aim to equip our pupils with the emotional awareness, confidence and healthy habits they need to flourish both in school and beyond. 

Learning support at the Prep School is a well‑established and integral part of the school’s provision. The aim of our approach is to ensure that every pupil is able to reach their full potential within a nurturing, inclusive environment, developing confidence, independence and a positive approach to learning from the earliest years. 

Early Identification & Intervention

A particular strength of our provision is early identification and intervention. Through close monitoring of pupils from a very young age, we are able to identify additional needs promptly and implement appropriate support. This early intervention is key and enables pupils to make strong and sustained progress over time. 

We provide targeted support through a combination of in‑class guidance and focused interventions. Our Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) work across year groups, supporting pupils within the classroom while also delivering targeted programmes designed to address individual needs and remove barriers to learning. 

Pastoral Care & Wellbeing

Pastoral care is a central element of our SEN provision. We benefit from excellent pastoral support, including a dedicated Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) and access to a school counsellor. In addition, our LSAs are trained in Think Bricks Therapy, enabling them to support pupils’ emotional regulation, wellbeing and social development as part of a joined‑up pastoral and learning support approach. 

A Personalised Approach

The strength of our provision lies in its caring, personalised nature. We know our pupils well and are therefore able to work to individual strengths while supporting areas requiring development. We place great importance on working in partnership with parents and carers, maintaining open communication to ensure each child is supported as effectively as possible. 

In addition, the Prep School offers a Parent Support Network Group, providing a valuable community for families of children with additional needs. The group enables parents to share experiences, access training and guidance from external professionals, and build supportive relationships within the wider school community. 

Through close collaboration between pupils, families and staff, SEN support at the Prep School is designed to ensure that every child is known, supported and encouraged to flourish.
