Our Pastoral Ethos

Our approach to Pastoral Care

Everything we do at RGS The Grange is based on our belief that happy children succeed. For your child to truly flourish and fulfil his or her potential, happiness must abound.

What do we mean by happiness? It’s a feeling. Of safety, of belonging, of being valued and accepted for who you are, not just what you can do. It’s being seen, noticed, and heard. It’s knowing that those around you care about your well-being and are consistently kind. 

happiness is the foundation on which everything is built

Why does happiness matter?

It’s the foundation on which everything is built. Our philosophy of putting your child’s happiness above everything else means your child will:

  • be at the centre of our decision-making
  • gain the self-awareness and self-confidence needed to make the most of opportunities 
  • enjoy learning and embrace challenges
  • be supported by a comprehensive well-being and mental health provision
  • learn to appreciate life and respect the world in which he or she lives
  • have a sense of personal accountability for his or her actions and learning
  • feel empowered to form good relationships with others
  • participate fully, which in turn ensures learning is enhanced, aspirations are raised, and potential is achieved

All this works best when your child’s home and school worlds align. We work hard to form positive relationships with you so that together we can ensure your child is happy and prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences they will encounter.

“IT’S A FEELING OF GROWTH. THAT TINGLE OF BELIEF THAT SOMETHING ONCE IMPOSSIBLE CAN NOW BE DONE.”

The ‘It’s a Feeling…’ film captures the unique feeling that parents and pupils experience when they visit the Family of Schools
