Pastoral support

Support for children and families of Saint Francis Xavier School

Keeping all of our children safe is our main priority at school. We want all the children who attend Saint Francis Xavier to be happy, safe and enjoy their time at school.

We know that sometimes children and families need that extra support at times. We encourage our children to let us know if they are experiencing problems at school and ensure that they know it is important to talk through their worries, anxieties or concerns. Your child or yourself can email us if they would like to speak to a member of the pastoral team within school by contacting us on needtotalk@sfxschool.org.uk

We also encourage children to share concerns with their form tutor, Head of Year, or any other member of the Pastoral Team.
