Parents

Pastoral Support KS5

As with KS3 and KS4, we have a dedicated pastoral team working with Sixth Form students throughout their time with us to ensure they can thrive and flourish.  Pastoral staff are non-teaching and so are available throughout the day to support both students and parents should any issues arise.

Home to School Contact

At the end of each term, we send a report home detailing both progress made throughout that term, as well as attitude towards learning.  As well as helping students understand where they are in relation to expected outcomes, these reports also help determine how much Agreed Absence students will receive the following term.

In addition to regular parents’ meetings for consultation with subject teachers, there are also special meetings for students and parents in other school year groups:

  • In the Autumn of Year 11 to give information about the Sixth Form and post 16 study options
  • In the Summer of Year 12 to give information about post 18 options, including the procedure for applying to university / college.

Key Stage 5

The KS5 Pastoral Team consists of Mrs Holden, Mr Carbutt and Dr Simha.  Students are allocated a dedicated Head of Year who works with them throughout their time with us, moving with students from Year 12 to Year 13.  This enables them to both get to know students and help ensure they achieve the best possible rates of progression and attainment in these key exam years.

The current KS5 structure is as follows:

Additionally, the Head of Guidance, Dr Simha (aas@malton.pmat.academy) works alongside the Heads of Year.  She is able to provide students with a tailored ongoing plan of support to help ensure they achieve their ambitions when they leave us aged 18. The process starts at the beginning of Year 12 and continues throughout Year 13. Dr Simha will play a particularly important role if you choose the Early Entry Pathway through Sixth Form.  You can find more information on the Early Entry Pathway here.

The Pastoral Team are supported in their work by the Sixth Form Tutors.
