Pastoral Care

School Life

Each girl, each family, and each situation is different. That’s why we offer individualised support that allows the school and families work together to ensure that every girl can thrive in her own unique way.

Pastoral care is at the heart of what we do and at the heart of every student’s success: we understand it, we care about it, and we prioritise it. Our school culture is grounded in holistic and embedded pastoral care.

This provision is understood by every member of staff and accessed by every student. We take responsibility for our students, and we teach them to take responsibility for themselves.



” Pupils are provided with access to various means of support, including pastoral care, the learning support department, and the specialist support and counselling services. Well-trained prefects and peer listeners contribute to an embedded culture of support for pupils’ wellbeing, where resilience, emotional awareness, and self-reflection are encouraged”

Support Every Step Of The Way

At Roedean, pastoral care is truly ingrained in our culture. Our team of Pastoral Managers is available to the girls every day for support, advice, encouragement, and practical help.


Above all, we listen. We make sure every voice is heard. And we nurture the innate capacity within every girl to leave school as a confident, independent individual, well-equipped to meet both life’s inevitable challenges and exciting opportunities head on.

Health Centre

The Health Centre is an exceptional on-site facility, accessible to all students and dedicated to supporting their health and wellbeing. During term time, the Health Centre is staffed by skilled and experienced nurses, supported by a Health Centre Assistant, with GP clinics held on site twice each week.


The nursing team is able to assess and treat minor illnesses and injuries, identify individual health needs, and provide confidential advice or appropriate signposting to external services, as well as playing an active role in health promotion and education.


Working in close collaboration with students and their families, the Health Centre team supports students in meeting their health needs and accessing all aspects of school life.

“Health and safety arrangements, including comprehensive risk assessments, quality medical provision and first aid training and procedures, are thorough and effective. Staff are well trained in safety protocols.”
