Pastoral Care

We value every girl and her contribution to life at Bruton

Our pastoral care is second to none and every pupil from the Nursery and Pre-Prep through to the Sixth Form is well-known and cared for according to her individual needs

In the Senior School and Sixth Form our pastoral system provides the supportive framework for the emotional and intellectual development experienced at this age. In addition to all the academic guidance and support given by every member of staff, each girl is in the care of a tutor who oversees her progress. Each tutor group falls within one of our four Halls (Hadspen, Longleat, Montacute and Stourhead). The Hall and tutor group system provides the opportunity for friendships across year groups, enhances the girls’ ability to relate to others and be a valued member of the school community. Allegiance to the Halls extends into the Sixth Form and a wide range of Inter-Hall activities including charity events, music, drama, sport and public speaking promotes a spirit of positive competition. Heads of Hall and the Head of Sixth Form oversee all tutor groups and monitor the progress of every girl.

The school also has its own Medical Centre which is staffed by qualified nursing Sister as well as a visiting Counsellor. The centre is also supported by the Bruton Surgery with its comprehensive medical care.
