Pastoral Care

Aylesford School's pastoral system prides itself on teaching our students the 3 school core school values: Ambition, Resilience and Kindness.

We have a pastoral programme that incorporates 6 key themes across the school year into tutor time, assemblies and year periods.

The 6 key themes are:

  • Community and Anti-Bullying (Autumn Term);
  • Mental Health and Positive Peer Relationships (Spring Term);
  • Self-Care and Tolerance of Others (Summer Term). 

The pastoral team consists of two members of the Senior Leadership Team; six Heads of Year, who are a hybrid of both full-time Heads of Year and teaching Heads of Year; two Attendance Officers; a School Counsellor and a Pastoral Support Officer.
