Pastoral System

Pastoral care at Eston Park School is based on a vertical House System. Each House is run by a Head of House plus an assistant.

Each of the four Houses :

• Durham
• Lincoln
• Ripon
• York

On admission to school, pupils are placed in a House, which is split into a number of Tutor Groups.

The School places great emphasis on good staff/student relationships and on providing a hard-working, well-disciplined atmosphere in which students as individuals can flourish.

All members of staff are attached to one of four Houses.  Each House has nine tutor groups, vertically organised.  The care, guidance and support given to students was recently judged to be outstanding (OfSTED Inspection Report, December 2006).  The Every Child Matters agenda underpins every aspect of school life.  All students are set challenging targets and encouraged to have high expectations and aspirations.  The pastoral role of each member of staff is crucial in realising these outcomes.
