Pastoral Care
Visitors to the school often remark upon the positive relationships between staff and students. We recognise that students have different needs and respond to challenges in a variety of ways. The committed contributions of our Pastoral Team of form tutors, Progress Leaders and our Student Support Team supports the growth and development of all students. They focus on all aspects of students’ welfare and involvement in school life. Your daughter's/son's form tutor will monitor progress in academic work and will ensure that they benefit in as many ways as possible from an education at North Bromsgrove High School.
There is the opportunity to be referred in relation to mental and physical health through the school nurse. Counsellors and mentors are also available where needed and Progress Leaders will liaise as appropriate.
Adolescence can be a turbulent time for teenagers as well as for parents. Effective communication between home and school can ensure any difficulties are jointly resolved. You are encouraged to contact your daughter/son's form tutor to share information, seek advice or raise concerns.
Parents are kept informed as to their daughter/son's progress through regular progress reviews and an annual parent consultation evening. As well as a range of other events. Please see the school calendar for more information.

We are a Trauma Informed School
A trauma informed school is one that is able to support children and teenagers who suffer with trauma or mental health problems and whose troubled behaviour acts as a barrier to learning.
We have staff trained in key conversational skills in addressing and making sense of what has happened to a child. The training staff have undergone is born out of a response to major public health studies that have shown that when children who have suffered several painful life experiences, are unhelped, there is a very high chance of them going on to suffer severe mental and physical ill-health.
