Philosophy statement: Providing a family-structured home-away-from-home environment as an extension of our mission and vision to provide an education of distinction.
We believe that boarding must be streamlined and pupil-focused. Our boarding function compliments the overall vision of Principia, emphasising the commitment to excellence and high support in all spheres.
The pastoral care element is intricately linked to pupils' personal development in academics, co-curricular and social fields.
Supporting high expectations in a trusting and safe environment is vital and achieved through:
- advocating pupils' best interests,
- mentoring pupils and providing emotional support,
- developing strong, mutually respectful relationships,
- creating a family-style environment with consistent rituals and traditions,
- creating and cultivating opportunities for pupils to develop personal maturity through developmentally appropriate freedoms and responsibilities,
- supporting students by attending as many functions that involve their pupils as practical,
- supporting students through participation in the co-curricular programme.
