“Inspired through Jesus and His followers” 

At Christ Church C of E Primary School, pastoral care is at the heart of our mission. 
We believe that every child is a unique and precious gift from God, and we are committed to nurturing each one so they can

“let their light shine before others” (Matthew 5:16). 

Our pastoral support reflects our Christian ethos and SHINE values – to be Successful, Happy, Included, Nurtured, and Enriched. 

 
Through love, humility, and guidance, we help children flourish holistically — physically, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. 

How We Support Our Children 

Caring Relationships 

Every child is known, loved, and listened to. We build trusting relationships that create a genuine sense of belonging within our Christ Church family. 

Emotional & Spiritual Wellbeing 

Through PSHE, RSE, and Collective Worship, we encourage reflection, gratitude, and resilience. Pupils learn from examples such as Jesus, Moses, and Zacchaeus, discovering how faith can guide their choices and actions. 

Inclusive & Welcoming Community 

Our school proudly celebrates its diversity — embracing different languages, cultures, and backgrounds. United in Christ’s love, we recognise that what binds us together is greater than what sets us apart. 

Positive Behaviour & Forgiveness 

Following Jesus’ example, we promote kindness, compassion, and forgiveness through restorative practices, helping children to learn from mistakes and grow in character. 

Guidance & Early Support 

Our pastoral team, class teachers, and leaders work closely with families and outside agencies to offer timely, compassionate support whenever challenges arise.  

If you do need any support, please contact the school office and ask to speak to Miss Ralph and she will be more than happy to support you and your family. 

 

Our Aim 

We aim to create a nurturing environment where every child: 

• Feels safe, valued, and included 
• Grows in faith, wisdom, and self-belief 
• Learns to serve others with love and humility 
• Shines their light in school, at home, and in the wider world 

Pastoral care at Christ Church is more than support — it’s the living expression of our Christian faith in action. 

 
Together, we guide our children to live purposeful, joyful lives, inspired by Jesus and strengthened by His love.
