Pastoral Support

 Pastoral

Successful learning thrives when pupils feel safe, confident, respected, valued and intrigued. From the moment a child obtains a place at Marston Vale Middle, the process of supporting them to become a successful learner within a nurturing environment begins.

At Marston Vale our dedicated pupil support team offer high-quality pastoral care and assistance to pupils and families throughout their time with us. We recognise that in order to help our young people achieve we need to focus on their health and wellbeing, both physical and mental. Through this we will ensure that pupils are empowered and confident to lead happy and successful lives. The services of various professionals such as School counsellor, School Nurse and referrals to access extra support where needed is also available to ensure every child is happy, well looked after and supported.

We believe in creating a caring and supportive environment in which pupils are confident ambitious learners. At Marston Vale we have a house system with 4 houses- Bowie, Hawking, Peake and Rowling. Pupils are rewarded with house points via our online reward system called Bromcom. Behaviour points are also issued via Bromcom and parents can access this information via their MCAS App.  Form tutors and school staff will monitor pupils’ achievement and behaviour throughout their journey at Marston - to ensure that they can reach their full potential, and thrive at our excellent school.
