Pastoral

At Faringdon Community College, we believe it is important to support students as a whole person; this means supporting them as individuals to reach their full potential. Whilst every staff member at FCC is there to support students, there are specific adults who are often best placed to support students in the first instance.

Every student from Year 7-13 has a form tutor who they will see every day; these tutors should be the first point of contact for any parental/carer queries or concerns. There is then a Head of Year for Year 7-11 and then a Head of Sixth Form for Year 12 and 13. The Head of Year is responsible for the year group's personal and academic development.
 
The Year 7 Head of Year is Mrs License, with  additional support from Miss Nichols (Assistant Headteacher).
 
The Year 8 Head of Year is Miss Scarr, with additional support from Mr Mark Adams (Assistant Headteacher).

The Year 9 Head of Year is Mr Benn, with additional support from Mr Mark Adams (Assistant Headteacher).
 
The Year 10 Head of Year is Miss Greenaway-Byrne.

The Year 11 Head of Year is Mr Jukes.
 
The Heads of Year are supported by four full-time Pastoral Support Assistants who provide bespoke support for students with specific wellbeing and educational needs.
 
Students may also have support from Teaching Assistants, ELSAs, Pastoral Support Assistants, their classroom teachers or other staff members.
 
The Head of Pastoral Care at FCC is Mr Paul Dipple, Deputy Headteacher, who works closely with the staff mentioned above, as well as working with our Safeguarding Manager, our Attendance Engagement Officer, the School Health Nurse and external pastoral workers.
