Pastoral - Details and General Information

The Pastoral System

The pastoral system at LOGS is established so that, during their time here, the pupils develop into caring, responsible, trustworthy, well-rounded and well-behaved young adults.

Pupils are encouraged to respect each other, the staff and the buildings by learning and accepting the standards of the school’s code of conduct.

LOGS establishes and maintains a safe environment within which individual pupils can develop fully both academically and socially.

Good pastoral care enables pupils to develop their self confidence and self esteem both of which are essential if they are to become more independent academically and prepared to take responsibility for their own learning.

Relationships between the pupils and between pupils and teacher are based upon mutual respect. Each should show a positive regard for the feelings, values and beliefs of the other that goes beyond simple tolerance.

Parents both prospective and current regularly comment on the "family feel" of the school. This friendly atmosphere although not unique to LOGS is something that we pride ourselves on.

This is inculcated in our pupils by the care of pastoral staff but it must be stressed that high academic standards and the professionalism of the staff is not compromised in the process.

Although we want our pupils to be happy we also want them to fulfil their potential and the strong pastoral system that we operate helps them meet the challenges that they face.
