Expectations of conduct at Gillingham School are based on our school values:
1 We are ambitious, take pride in our school and our learning is never disrupted.
2. We treat everyone with kindness and dignity
3. We have the right to feel safe and happy.
We encourage and expect a mutually respectful culture for all stakeholders so that we can maximise attendance and success for all our students, both inside and outside the classroom.
The Pastoral System
The pastoral system is made up of Year Groups: 7 through to 13. Students are placed in tutor groups and tutors are the first point of contact for anything relating to a student’s welfare. Each Year group has an allocated Head of Year who is supported by two Assistant Heads of Year and a dedicated Pastoral manager. The pastoral system also supports the delivery of some aspects of the tutor programme for each Year Group, such as careers and well being. However, the PSHE curriculum is now the main subject area in which SRE and SMSC are delivered.
