Pastoral Support

Pastoral Manager

Hello Everyone! My name is Angie, St Barnabas’ Pastoral Manager.

My role in school is to provide support, advice and information to the families within our school community. I can help you with any worries that you may have in relation to your child's education, behaviour and wellbeing. I am also here as someone to talk to if you need it!

Advice and support is confidential although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance with the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. I may not have all the answers, but hopefully I can help you to work out how to find them!

Support for pupils includes:

promoting good attendance and punctuality
promoting self-esteem and confidence
promoting positive behaviour and positive attitudes to learning
providing one-to-one support

Support for families includes:

providing information and signposting to other services in the local area
liaising with a range of external services such as housing and Social Care
assistance in completing paperwork and forms e.g. housing, school places and benefits
attendance and support at school and other agency meetings
advice and support in promoting positive behaviour at home

Family life can be challenging at times and we all need a bit of advice and support. If you would like a chat to see if I can assist you and your family please feel welcome to come and see me. You can contact me between 8.30 and 4.00 by calling 0121 464 5813 and choosing option 3 or email pastoralsupport@stbarnabasb24.org.uk

Please leave a message out of these hours and I will call you back as soon as I can.
