Pastoral Team

The Waseley Hills pastoral team share and promote the  vision in working together to ensure where it is required that each child and family has a bespoke support plan that will allow them the best opportunities to achieve and  for the students to be the best versions of themselves. We do all we can to work via the team around the child approach in order to best facilitate working towards positive outcomes for our young people.

The synergy of the SEND, Safeguarding, Behaviour and Welfare team is strong and lies central to the drive here at Waseley. Every day, every child matters and we work to ensure the students and families receive the support they need.  

The Pastoral team is led by Mrs Meredith and includes Miss Oakes as Strategic Behaviour Lead, Mr Blount as Operational Behaviour lead, Heads of Year Mrs Joshi, Mrs Burke – Martin, Mrs Bradley and Mrs Williams as well as a fantastically skilled student welfare team led by Mrs McLeod. Mrs Masters offers a further layer of support and is an integral member of the team as our Student Wellbeing Lead. Waseley Hills is lucky to have Mrs Whitcombe – Troth and Ms Moore who are a dedicated attendance department that work as an important part of the pastoral team.

Waved Approach 

Our waved approach in all areas of the pastoral structure allows for a shared drive in all aspects of a child’s journey here at Waseley, from tutor time, attendance, in the classroom, behaviour, rewards and SEND. Working together to ensure all our staff, parents and students have a secure understanding of how at Waseley we ensure we get the best possible outcomes.

We have been so proud of our Year 7 learners who have demonstrated outstanding team-working and communication skills, alongside creating professional business documents (presentations, posters and profit and loss sheets). Morgan Stanley staff have praised our learners with their highly- organisational skills, respect in listening to each other's views along with considering and planning, in detail, a sustainable and profitable business idea. Our Year 7s have demonstrated resilience when asked questions by our "Dragons" (Mr S Palmer, Project Manager of Tilbury, Mr Vikas and Mr Kett, Managements at Morgan Stanley), where they were able to answer questions in detail. This enrichment activity has enabled our learners to consider business at planning and operational stages, consider careers in environment sustainability and Business Operations/Finance.
