Supporting our pupils 

When pupils feel supported and valued, they are more likely to engage in learning and perform better academically. By addressing the holistic needs of our pupils, we are helping them be well-equipped to face academic challenges and achieve their full potential.  
 

Our school is more than just a place of learning; it’s a community where pupils, staff, and families come together to create a supportive and caring atmosphere.

Safeguarding and support  

Our dedicated team of safeguarding leads works tirelessly to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every pupil. We take a proactive approach to safeguarding, with regular training and updates to ensure we’re always prepared to support our students in the best way possible.   

 

Open-door policy  

Communication is key to fostering a supportive community. That’s why we have an open-door policy at Halstead St Andrew's. We encourage pupils and parents to come to us with any concerns or issues they might have. Whether it’s a quick chat with a teacher or a more in-depth discussion, we’re here to listen and provide support. No issue is too big or too small, and we believe that open communication helps us address concerns before they become bigger problems.  
 

Our open-door policy extends to our families too. We know that raising young people can sometimes be challenging, and we’re here to help parents navigate these tricky times, providing the resources and support they need.
