Pastoral Support Assistant – Mrs Carlile

Email address: Rachel.Carlile@eck.leap-mat.org.uk

The Leader of Student Development is supported by the Pastoral Assistant for the year group, together with a team of tutors.

The year team looks to create open communication links between parents/carers, teaching and support staff and, where necessary, liaising with outside agencies, enabling students to feel safe, secure and most importantly supported with whatever life throws at them. Our aim is to offer emotional, behavioural and academic support to those who require it and we are proud of the close working relationship we have with parents and students.

We look to enhance student self-esteem and well-being by motivation supported by praise, encouragement and reward. The majority of this will be regular and informal with the Year Team taking every opportunity to highlight positive feedback.

We look to monitor behaviour, academic ability and attendance closely and we celebrate student, team and group success, both inside and outside the classroom, on a termly basis.

Celebrating student success in all areas of school life is also very important  and they want the students’ time at Eckington School to be as successful as possible.

Contacting us

It is only through positive and strong relationships between school staff and parents/carers that we are able to best support our young people. If you have any concerns or queries please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Your first point of contact should always be your child’s form tutor. Form tutors can be contacted by telephone before school and during the school day, but please be aware that they will almost certainly be teaching and unable to take a call in the first instance. Telephone: 01246 432 849

Alternatively, the Leader of Student Development and the Pastoral Support Assistant can be contacted either by telephone 01246 432849 x228 or by using the emails above.

Welcome to the Year 10.

The Leader of Student Development is supported by the Pastoral Assistant for the year group, together with a team of tutors, who work together to support the students with any issues they may have, whether they are academic, social, emotional or personal.

Celebrating student success in all areas of school life is also very important to them. We want the students’ time at Eckington School to be as successful as possible.

• Year 10 is full of opportunities and challenges for students as they prepare for GCSE examinations. Whilst students may feel that this is stressful at times, the future poses some exciting opportunities and together we will ensure that every student is supported in achieving their full potential.
• As a team, we aim to support every child’s need and exploit their talents, whatever these may be.

• This year is about making sure that at Eckington School students achieve the grades that they deserve, to enable them to move to the next stage of their education. As a pastoral team, and along with subject teachers we are all here to help students ‘Achieve Excellence’ across all subjects. As Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) once said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get”.
• Along with this work ethos, we are looking forward to celebrating your Prom night to mark the end of your GCSE studies; it promises to be a night you will never forget!
• Finally, you have all grown and matured throughout the years at Eckington and we are looking forward to helping you achieve the best possible grades and send you off into the world as well rounded citizens, who will enjoy a successful life at whatever you choose to do. Good Luck.
