Pastoral Information

At Brentwood School, we have an outstanding level of pastoral care. The wellbeing and safety of all our students is our highest priority and we have an excellent team in place to support each young person individually.  

The extended pastoral team in the Senior School comprises the Senior Deputy Head, Director of Pastoral Care and Safeguarding, Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads, Heads of Year and their Deputies, Form Tutors, Boarding staff, Pastoral Managers, our Chaplain, Director of Pupil Wellbeing, the School’s medical team and our School counsellors. Together they support the wellbeing of all our students, enabling each student to thrive in a kind, caring and inclusive community.

Students at Brentwood School are on a journey through education, but they are also building relationships on many different levels. The quality of these relationships is the key to the success of our community.

The Form Tutor plays an important part in helping each student build such relationships and develop as an individual. Students are encouraged and guided by their Form Tutor who is their advocate and a positive role model. The Form Tutor takes an active interest in the academic lives of their tutees, their progress and wellbeing and encourages participation in the wide range of activities available to students outside of the classroom.

If, at any stage, you have a concern about your child, please contact the Form Tutor in the first instance or the Head of Year. For more serious issues and safeguarding matters, you may contact the Director of Pastoral Care and Safeguarding, Miss Bishop, the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads or Mrs Jenkin, the Senior Deputy Head responsible for Pastoral Care in the Senior School or, at the Prep School, Mrs Trowell, Deputy Head (Pastoral) or Mrs Townsend, Director of EYFS.
