Rockford Manor operates a whole school approach to student support and pastoral care. Supporting all our students is part of the ethos of CEIST. We aim to provide a safe, happy and caring school that will allow for academic, social, spiritual, physical and emotional development.
Our counsellor meets our students on a one-to-one basis; run intervention programmes; use peer support and circle time and report to the yearheads for any other supports each student needs. They work closely with the school support system which comprises of SNAs, tutors, yearheads, SEN coordinator, Deputy and Principal.
A Careteam is in place which is made up of our counsellor and our SEN coordinator - all who have a specific pastoral role. The Careteam meet regularly to deal with individual student issues as well as wider issues that may affect a group of students or the wider school community.
