Meet the Pastoral and Safeguarding Team

Our experienced and compassionate pastoral staff work closely with pupils, parents, and teachers to provide individualised care and support. Our team is always available to listen, provide guidance, and offer a helping hand whenever needed.

We believe that a strong partnership between school, home, and the wider community is crucial for the well-being of our pupils. We encourage open communication and collaboration to ensure that every pupil feels heard, understood, and valued.

If you are worried about a pupil, then it is your responsibility to contact a member of the Safeguarding and Child Protection Team listed below.

Exeter School and Exeter Pre-Prep School’s safeguarding & child protection policies are also available below.
