pastoral care

In an ever-evolving world, true pastoral care is long-term and embraces all elements of student life. Meeting the pastoral needs of students can be a challenge, particularly in relation to children’s emotional and mental health. Quality pastoral care sits at the heart of MAMS.  We believe that children learn best when they are happy and educated in a safe and comfortable family-like atmosphere. Trained staff members, including a housemistress and a housemaster, along with a string of support staff, are entrusted with the well-being of the children and ensuring that the needs of our pupils are fully met.

our purpose

• To enable each student to reach their full academic and social potential.
• To ensure that each student has access to appropriate personal, vocational, and academic guidance and support.
• To provide students with opportunities and to encourage them to take on personal and social responsibility.
• To instil qualities like self-awareness and self-confidence so they are able to face the challenges, both academic and personal, that might come their way.
• To establish and maintain harmonious relations with parents in order to help prepare students for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adult life.
• To foster a caring and safe environment in which students are valued not for who they are but for what they can do.
