“More than ever before, children arrive at school with significant needs that require attention before learning can take place. ”
Teaching: the new reality, May 2023
Recent reports show that school leaders are increasingly supporting children with pastoral needs outside of their academic work. With the cost of living crisis, unprecedented pressures on mental health services and continued challenges with school absence, the role of the pastoral teams in schools has never been more demanding.
During this full day conference our expert speakers will discuss recent changes to guidance on behaviour, exclusions, attendance and safeguarding so that you are able to remain compliant and understand the impact that these will have on your day-to-day work.
Our experts will also be delivering sessions on some of the biggest challenges facing pastoral leads in schools, including; responding to the cost of living crisis, working strategically as a pastoral lead, supporting students with anxiety, attachment and trauma aware approached and addressing the difficulties arising out of cyber bullying.
Who should attend?
