A Caring Ethos

Our School Ethos is underpinned by the three values of Relationships, Respect and Responsibility. As a new pupil to our school, pupils will be warmly welcomed into the Grosvenor family and our dedicated staff work hard to ensure that our pupils feel supported and encouraged at every stage of their educational pathway.

From September of Year 8 through to a Year 14 pupil leaving for pastures new, we make every effort to ensure pupils have a deep sense of our caring ethos. Form Tutors in Year 8 are quick to build a good rapport with the pupils under their care, not least when they take them on a Year 8 Residential. We are proud of the Residential Programme and believe in its important role in helping pupils settle into Grosvenor and make lasting friendships with others in their Form Class. Year 14 pupils leaving the School still hold dear the memories from their Year 8 Residential.

As pupils then move through the various Key Stages, our excellent Pastoral System ensures a smooth transition and a safe haven for all pupils. As a first point of contact each morning, the Form Tutor plays a key role in helping pupils plot their way through school. Beyond that, our Heads of Year, Heads of School and Vice Principal in charge of Pastoral Care ensure that no child is without support and encouragement throughout their Grosvenor journey.

Our Special Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) and Assistant SENCo work closely with pupils who have identified special educational needs to further ensure that our caring ethos is for all. Further information can be found on our Special Educational Needs page.

Whilst ensuring that there is high quality learning and teaching in the classrooms, Grosvenor also offers a rich and varied extra-curricular programme which helps develop further the relationships between pupils and staff. Our staff involvement with the extra-curricular programme and their willingness to lead trips and excursions emphasises how seriously they take the responsibility entrusted to them to ensure that the pupils in Grosvenor are shown a caring ethos and allowed to have a fulfilling school experience which will set them up for life.

The School is proud of its strong pastoral care system and pleasant atmosphere in which pupils are encouraged to develop their capabilities. The curriculum gives emphasis to academic, social, aesthetic, moral and physical development and pupils are enabled to grow in self-confidence throughout their years in the School.
