Pastoral Care

At Trinity Academy Leeds, I have the privilege of leading the Rebuild Team to ensure all students receive the very best pastoral care. The team are passionate about helping students in their care shine brighter and understand that excellent pastoral care is an integral part of helping students feel safe and happy during their time with us.

At TAL we unashamedly are ambitious for all of our students and we want the best for them. My job is to communicate those expectations with parents, carers and students. TAL is a hugely special community and it is a joy to work with our young people.

At TAL, our expectations are high for behavior and conduct because we make success inevitable for the future. In addition to the pastoral support available, I will work collaboratively with parents and carers of our students to create strong relationships between school and home. My priority for Year 8 is for students to become active citizens within their community, by taking advantage of the endless opportunities that will develop their character.

My expectations are high and unwavering. I expect you to always demonstrate our Core Values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility, and to be on time and on task every single day. We are all responsible for making our school a welcoming and safe place and you will never see me without a smile on my face. I will always be there to lend an ear and help you overcome barriers to learning. Your attendance and behaviour are incredibly important to me, my role is to make sure you are always being the best version of you.

I have over 20 years of experience working in education, and I am able to support families with the early help process and signposting to agencies and resources that will assist families with any difficulties that they might face. I am here to provide help and guidance to young people and their families through difficulties that they experience.

Here at TAL we strive to ensure that students are on site daily, accessing quality first teaching, enabling them to achieve their full potential. I have extensive knowledge of working with young people and families and I am looking forward to working with you so that your child can reach higher and achieve their dreams. I am Early Help trained so I am happy to assist families with support around attendance.

I have 18 years experience in supporting young people in their journey to success. I’m very much looking forward to getting to know the team, students and their families. My role will ensure students can achieve their dreams by having the best attendance and being fully engaged in their education.

I have high expectations and will work with you and your families to improve attendance, attainment, social emotional regulation and behavior. My role will ensure that students have the tools and opportunities to be successful and reach their full potential.

School counselling is an effective form of early intervention providing our young people support around their psychological, academic and social development.
Regular therapeutic support has a positive effect on a young person's confidence, resilience, sense of self-worth, family relationships, friendships, school attendance and academic achievement.
As a counsellor here at TAL, I provide a safe, confidential space for our young people, where they can process their emotions and begin to understand and manage their distress using a variety of techniques.

I am here to ensure all students are on time and on task each day and embodying our core values. My role involves supporting both students and families to ensure that we can work in partnership to achieve the best possible outcomes that will facilitate future success. Reach higher, see further, shine brighter.

I will be closely monitoring their behaviour, attendance, personal development, and academic progress. My role involves supporting students and families to make sure our Purple Stars reach higher, see further, shine brighter.

I have high expectations and will support you to ensure your attendance remains high, your behaviour is outstanding and the way you conduct yourself in school and the wider community is exceptional. I will work with you and your family so that you grow into a well-rounded, successful individual, who reaches their full potential.

It is my job as an SLO to support students, families and other staff members to maintain exceptionally high standards of academic progress and personal development, including instilling our core values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility not only within TAL but also in your wider community. By ensuring you embody the TAL ethos throughout your school life, I will work collectively with all ‘Purple Stars’ to obtain the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to have a challenging, stimulating and rewarding academic career that will develop your potential in all your future endeavours.

My position is to support all students to reach higher, see further, shine brighter and embody our core values of empathy, honesty, respect and responsibility. I will collaborate with families to ensure each student has access to the best possible outcomes , remains target driven and reaches the zenith of their goals.
