Student Well-being
Richard Hale School is committed to supporting all students’ well-being, thus enabling them to achieve their personal best as they move throughout school life and into adulthood.
This support includes a strong pastoral team of Form Tutors, Heads of Year, Heads of Key-Stage and Student Welfare Officers. All students are encouraged to talk about any concerns or worries they have in a confidential and caring setting. If staff have any concerns or they feel a student may need added support then the Head of Year and Student Welfare Officer are informed.
