‍At Read Academy, our Pastoral Support Team is committed to supporting students’ well-being by ensuring every individual feels heard and valued. We take a restorative approach to resolving conflicts, using de-escalation techniques to create a calm and supportive environment.

We also have a 'Feedback Count' System in place ensuring every single child's feedback is taken into account.

Our services also include internal and external mentoring, providing students with guidance and positive role models to help them navigate challenges. Through this holistic support, we aim to foster resilience, confidence, and success for every student in our school community.

We have trained up our senior students who can offer peer support for students that may be affected by low-level wellbeing concerns, such as friendship issues or school stress. Peer Buddies are trained and closely supervised by the senior management team.

If you have any concerns about your child’s wellbeing, please contact your child’s form teacher in the first instance. They will listen to your concerns and discuss the potential options of support which are available for your child to access in school.
