Pastoral Care at Severn Vale School
The Pastoral System
Every student has a tutor who will usually follow their group through until the end of their time at school. Tutors work in a team under the direction of a non-teaching Head of Year (HOY) who will also remain with the year group throughout their five years.
The pastoral structure is divided into Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 with an Assistant Headteacher responsible for each.
