PASTORAL CARE AT CRANBORNE 

The Inclusion Team

 We are proud to be an inclusive school where our environment makes every child feel valued. We share similarities and celebrate our differences. Inclusion means that everyone is welcomed, respected, included and heard and that they fully belong to our school community. The Inclusion Team work to bring about positive changes in the behaviour of children and young people experiencing difficulties with their social, emotional and mental health development. 

If you have any further questions regarding the work we do, please contact a member of the Inclusion team-Mrs Keilty, Mrs Caldwell, Mrs Holt, Mrs Prazer or Mrs Wood

At Cranborne, we take our pastoral care very seriously. We know that children learn well when they haven't got worries or concerns. We have a clear understanding of how a pupil’s social and emotional state can impact on their daily learning. Our role, as the inclusion team, is to provide support for your child and to break down their barriers to learning. 

Your child's physical and emotional wellbeing is key and we can provide comfort and care and will support with any problems they may be experiencing at school or home. As well as building trusting relationships with your child, we are here to also work in partnership with families and carers where necessary.

We have experience of providing support in developing emotional resilience, social skills, anxiety, anger management, loss, mindfulness, confidence, self esteem and many more. We will tailor the support to suit the needs of each individual child and this can be through talking, drawing, going for a walk, playing games or even gardening. Working with your child and their specific interests will enable them to feel safe and comfortable in the time we spend together. 

We have a good understanding of the numerous avenues of support available through outside agencies and we can work together to find the right path for you and your child. 

We endeavour to give your child time, understanding and will always listen and treat everything they share with validation and sensitivity.
