Pastoral care

Post by kanye »

Does anyone have any knowledge on Withington, MHSG or AGGSs pastoral care for the teen years? Also, how pressurising is each academically? Thank you

Altrincham is actually very good pastorally. It seems once an influential opinion becomes part of the Zeitgeist, that is sometimes hard to shrug off. But your always left with the nagging feeling of no smoke without fire. My view?

Institutions act to serve their own interests, support them and they are your best friend. DO something that doesn't sit comfortably with them and.................

They press for top performance, that is what they are there for. If you want something pants (where they like to light up the chalice), there are plenty of places in Manchester and Beyond where you can get that.

Close relative. I asked her that exact same question, because we are making decisions now, and pastoral concerns are a prime variable. I don't think you can perform at your best unless you are enjoying anything, and they are top performers
