    Pastoral Care

    Loyola boys and staff with MaryOur outstanding pastoral care provides for a happy, caring community for all.

    It is fundamental to all that we do. We are a community, inspired by Christ’s commandment to love God and our neighbours, where everyone is valued and each person's unique talents are celebrated and developed. We want our children to gain the essential skills that will prepare them to be happy, healthy and confident individuals and responsible citizens for the future.

    We aim to create and maintain an environment where our children will flourish, growing in their relationship with God and with one another, learning to love, respect, accept and forgive.

    We promote the dignity, self-esteem and full development of each person made in God’s image and uniquely loved by God. Our whole school approach to pastoral care and support has its basis in the ethos of Catholic education with its concern for the whole person and the development of every child’s unique gifts. We promote personal dignity, respect and charity within the pupils, providing a safe and caring environment for our children to grow as confident, happy learners, to maintain positive relationships with others and to make a contribution to their community and the wider world.

    One of our key strengths of our school is the excellent knowledge that the staff have of every pupil. Each class is supported pastorally by their class teacher and our support staff.

    "I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me"

    John 10:14
