Pastoral Care

We believe happy children learn better, and our Pastoral Care is very strong at Wycliffe at every stage of our pupils’ time here, from our Pre-Prep School, Prep School through to our Senior School and Sixth Form. The positive relationship between pupils and staff and the approachability of our staff were identified as key strengths in a recent parent survey. Each pupil is able to talk to a variety of staff for support – Form tutor, Matron, Boarding Housemistress and the Pastoral Lead for each year group.

Supportive House System Creates Friendly School Community

Lincoln, Shaftesbury, Scott and Grenfell are the four School Houses in the Prep School. When your child joins us, they join one of the Houses, and stay in that House for the duration of their time at Wycliffe. The House communities ensure children of all ages and year groups work together and support each other when competing in House events. There are House events every term including House Song, House Quiz, Sports Day and House Assemblies. Take a look at our Prep School boarding houses.
