The school’s work to promote pupils’ personal development and welfare is good. Leaders have recently overhauled the school’s pastoral systems and this has significantly improved the level of care pupils receive. Staff know pupils well.
The headteacher has made it an immediate priority to improve the behaviour and attendance of pupils and he has already had a positive impact in these areas. He has overseen the restructuring of pastoral leadership and established effective systems for supporting vulnerable pupils that are coordinated via the newly created ‘student
services’ hub.
The SENCO co-ordinates additional support for students with special educational needs and liaises with parents and carers, teachers and other professionals who are involved with them, to ensure the best possible provision.
Our Progress Leaders are responsible for monitoring the academic performance of the students in their subjects and ensuring that every student can reach their full potential.
The Head of Year monitors your child’s whole educational experience, ensuring that the individual needs of students are met. The Head of Year morally, spiritually, socially and culturally helps to educate all students in their care, throughout their time at South Wirral. Parents of Year 7 students are invited into school to meet staff a short time after the start of the school year and will act in partnership to ensure your child is supported and encouraged at each stage of their development.
Each year group has an Assistant Head of Year. These are non-teaching staff who are available all day to support our students. They are available all day from our Student Services Hub next to the student entrance.
