The School aims to support parents in the tasks of fostering the growth of sound values and self-discipline and of achieving acceptable norms of behavior.

The aim of pastoral care is to ensure as far as possible that students are equipped with the values and information necessary for living in an increasingly complicated and global society.

We believe that the most effective forms of discipline are example, consistently high expectation and a firm insistence on good behavior.

Regular formative guidance is given in class and assembly on such character issues as respect, obedience, honesty and stewardship. Pastoral care is the natural of a child beyond just teaching in the classroom.

At Potterhouse we are keen to establish a monitoring system that enables children to build a close relationship with the teacher so that our children feel the freedom and confidence to turn to them or comfort or help.

At Potterhouse the class teachers provide this care and act swiftly to resolve any problems the children may have. This means feedback is given to the parents on matters of the child’s well-being and character development.
