Supporting Students
While most students will require a ‘light touch’ for pastoral intervention during their time at Warneford, the school does understand there are occasions when students need some additional support. We encourage students to be resilient and to self-manage in preparation for the challenges ahead, but students at Warneford Parents can always make contact with these key people in the first instance.
