At William Barcroft Junior School, a strong emphasis is placed on pastoral care. The core of this is based on great communication both within school and between school and parents and carers. Please do keep us informed about your circumstances, so we’re able to support you and your children however we can. Our learning mentors are on the playground before and after school to chat to if you have any concerns.

We have a very strong Learning Mentor team and are very proud of the support they provide to our children and the outcome of their support. You can find the Learning Mentors on the playground in the morning and after school, or appointments can be made to speak with them in a more private setting if required.

Both our Learning Mentors and Academic Learning Mentors work very hard together focusing on any issues children may have both in and out of school and also behaviour and helping children to understand how this effects their learning.

The Learning Mentor room is a very welcoming environment and is used for group activities and games with children and also meetings with parents. The pastoral room is also the home of our school hamster, Tallulah!

We welcome you at any time to discuss any queries, concerns or issues you may have.
