Pastoral Care

NEW Tutor Teams (for January 2024) – Download (PDF)

​The Hamble School takes great pride in the high standard of pastoral care that is provided for its students. Our philosophy places considerable importance on ensuring that students are in a positive learning environment, feel happy and safe and enjoy coming to school, we want students to enjoy the challenge of learning and build resilience to overcome difficulties. We hope that students will participate fully in school life and everything that The Hamble School has to offer.

The aim of pastoral care at The Hamble School is to ensure that all students are supported and encouraged in both their academic and personal development. This is achieved by a highly effective structure led by a Head of Year for each year group and a team of tutors. Each tutor has responsibility for a tutor group he or she sees every day. Tutor groups follow a structured tutor programme developing numeracy and literacy as well as developing other key skills such as tolerance, teamwork, communication, careers and employment through the tutor programme. Tutor reviews behaviour, rewards and attendance with the students in the group and provide the first point of contact for parents and carers.

The pastoral structure is further underpinned by the work of The Harbour our SEND provision, our School Matron, Attendance Officer and Admissions officer, our Pastoral support Workers and our Mental Health team including a School Counsellor and our ELSA team. The staff who comprise this specialist team are highly dedicated and committed to support students with both their academic and emotional and social development. The team are here to ensure that all students get the best learning experience and can leave us with the best possible outcomes.
