It is important that your child settles quickly into our school. To
ensure a smooth transition, students are given a ‘Welcome’ booklet
which provides them with lots of information about the school and there
is also an induction programme for new students in Year 7.
All year groups are divided into mixed ability tutor groups. These
groups meet twice daily with their learning tutor who has a specific
responsibility for giving advice and guidance. The same tutor should
stay with your child throughout their time at the school. Once a week
there is a morning assembly for each year group, taken by the Head of
Year.
The tutor is led by the Head of Year. The main aim of the pastoral
team is to ensure that all students reach their full potential at Meols
Cop High by giving the necessary help and support.
Your first point of contact regarding your child’s progress and
welfare is the tutor. Please contact him or her if you have any
queries.
The effectiveness of the school’s pastoral organisation was recognised by the OFSTED team:
`Arrangements to ensure students’ care and welfare are very good
overall. Students receive very good support, advice, and guidance. The
extent of the school’s involvement of students in its work and
development is excellent.’
Parents should be aware that the school will take any reasonable
action to ensure the safety of its students. In cases where the school
has reason to be concerned that a child may be subject to
ill-treatment, neglect or other forms of abuse, staff have no
alternative but to follow borough Child Protection Procedures and
inform Social Services of their concern.
Parents will not always be fully informed of concerns unless staff
are certain that the safety of the child will not be prejudiced by
their doing so.
