Pastoral care refers to the support that the school provides to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of its students.

A successful pastoral care program ensures that as a student at Heath Lane, you feel safe, happy, engaged, and capable of reaching your full potential.

The Pastoral Team also ensures that you are effectively integrating with your peers and that any issues are identified and addressed promptly.

At Heath Lane Academy, we take pride in the quality of our Pastoral Team, who consistently embody our warm yet disciplined culture.
