They are the first port of call for pupils and parents for any queries and fortify our wellbeing provision. The pastoral care of pupils is a top priority, and our Deputy Head Pastoral, Mark Skidmore, embodies this commitment.
Our Assistant Head Pupil Wellbeing, Caroline Bond, is also on hand to lend a friendly ear and plays a central role in ensuring that the mental health and wellbeing of Pangbourne’s community is looked after.
