Pastoral Structure

At St Bernadette's, we value a close support network for every student.
Each pupil is assigned to a tutor group when they join the school in Year 7. They remain in that tutor group for the 5 years in school. All tutor groups are mixed ability and mixed gender.
The tutor is the first point of contact for the majority of queries you may have. This flow chart shows clearly who to contact with a query.
