The Power Up Pastoral programme invests in the vital, often overlooked role of pastoral staff in schools. This one-year training programme, designed by a collaboration of FEA members, builds the skills and confidence of non-teaching staff who provide critical wraparound support for pupils.

By equipping staff to provide stronger pastoral care, schools can enhance pupil wellbeing and give every child the opportunity to thrive.

Key takeaways:

  • Focuses on the potential of non-teaching staff to act as trusted adults
