Pastoral & Wellbeing
Pastoral Care
The Sixth Form community at Camp Hill is supportive, inspiring and is at the heart of the wider Camp Hill community. Alongside the rich curriculum which our Sixth Form offers, our pastoral care is broad and highly supportive. Students are placed in Houses in Sixth Form and drive the House spirit at Camp Hill through challenges, charity events and assemblies with the Main School. Alongside this, the plethora of extra-curricular opportunities, clubs and societies makes our Sixth Form experience highly regarded.
The pastoral support in Sixth Form is vast; with a Head of Year 12 and Head of Year 13 leading a strong team of Form Tutors, students are guided for life beyond Sixth Form from the very beginning. Unlike many Sixth Forms we have regular Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE) lessons to prepare students for life at university and the world of work, whilst challenging the latest ideas and questioning ideologies.
We offer a wide range of pastoral support in Sixth Form, including:
- Pastoral support team: Head of Year 12, Head of Year 13 and Pastoral support staff
- Form time everyday
- School counsellors
- one-to-one and groups for talking therapy
- strategy-based counselling
- Trained First Aiders to support medical needs
- Inclusion Coordinator to support all students in school, but particularly those with SEN
- Pupil Enabler to support students with SEN in Sixth Form
- Regular PSHE lessons
- Learning Mentor for academic support
- Sixth Form Leadership team

- A broad range of societies and clubs
