Pastoral support
Moving to a new school and country can be quite a change, which is why we always provide high-quality pastoral support to ease the transition. This begins in the first week with a reassuring induction programme that introduces pupils to life in the school.
Boarding at Tring Park School is a hugely positive experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a caring team of Pastoral staff on hand round the clock. Boarding not only provides students with a home away from home but also offers a supportive environment that is integral to the learning experience at Tring Park School.
Each pupil belongs to a tutor group, and they meet regularly with their tutor. We have a dedicated medical centre along with trained counsellors, physiotherapists, and Pilates teachers. The well-being and happiness of our pupils come first, helping them succeed on their own terms on an exciting new journey.
