Pastoral Care
FICS has a pastoral system centred around our House system which helps build a sense of belonging and tradition for students. Students are in tutor groups organised by House: Shackleton, Fitzroy, and Ross. We have a Head of KS3 and a Head of KS4 who oversee the tutor teams. They are supported by the Curriculum Leaders in Maths, English, Science and PSHE, to create a tutor programme which supports students in all areas of learning. Within tutor time, students also engage in House events and competitions. You can find out more about the House System here.
Tutors are the first port of call for parents if there are any concerns. Tutors develop strong relationships with their tutees and see them twice daily. They are focusing on students' wellbeing, organisation, and progress.
If there are any safeguarding concerns you can contact your child's tutor, or one of the school's safeguarding leads:
Ms A Marsh - Principal
Mr C Barlow - Deputy Principal
Ms G Chave - SENCO
Ms B Clifton - Pastoral Support Manager
Ms F Molligoda Smyth - Assistant Principal
Ms K Bailey - Assistant Principal
Mr P Parra - KS3 Leader
Ms E Brock - KS4 Leader
All staff can be reached via the school office: secretary@secondary.ac.fk or 27147.
