Pastoral Care & Wellbeing

Where Every Voice Matters

At Sherborne School Jeddah, every child is known, valued and inspired. Our pastoral care goes beyond support. It is about creating a nurturing community where pupils feel safe to be themselves, confident to take risks and encouraged to grow into thoughtful, resilient individuals. .

From the moment your child joins us, our experienced team is here to ensure their wellbeing, celebrate their strengths, and guide them through every challenge with care and understanding.

Three Pillars of Pastoral Care

The House System

From their very first day, pupils belong to a House, a school family that extends beyond their classroom, connecting them with pupils across year groups and creating lasting friendships, healthy competition, and genuine school pride.

Inclusion & Safeguarding

Every pupil deserves to feel safe, supported, and able to participate fully in school life. We're committed to creating an inclusive environment where individual needs are met with expertise and compassion, and safeguarding is our highest priority.

Parent Partnership

Your child's education is most successful when school and home work together. We're here to listen, collaborate, and keep you connected to your child's journey every step of the way.

Learn More About Parent Partnership

Whether it's through daily check-ins, House activities, one-to-one support, or simply being there for our pupils when they need us offering personal, one-to-one connection and support, we're committed to ensuring that every pupil feels seen, heard, and valued.

 

Every child matters here and just as importantly, every child knows they matter.

Inclusion & Pastoral Care

Our pastoral care team is here to walk alongside your family, offering guidance, encouragement and a listening ear whenever needed. Every Sunday morning, members of our Executive Leadership Team are in the Parent Café, ready to welcome you and connect.
