At John F Kennedy Catholic school we pride ourselves on the pastoral care we offer. 

We have 180 students in each year group (Years 7-11), with 6 tutor groups in each.

Each year group is led by an Achievement Leader who has an integral role in ensuring the academic, personal, social and emotional development of students within the school through consistent and fair implementation of our ethos, values and expectations. The Achievement Leader remains the same in Year 7 and in the Sixth Form. From Years 8 through to Year 11 the Achievement Leader travels up the school with the students.

Achievement Team Responsibilities:

• Monitor and evaluate the standards, achievement and progress for students within their year group, using student data and information and rigorous target setting
• Support the students' wellbeing, ensuring support is available where necessary, allowing every student to flourish
• Assist with admissions of students, whether at the start or during the academic year
• Monitor the rewards system across the year group, ensuring the success of every student is celebrated
• Monitor the use of classwork, independent study and homework in conjunction with Subject Leaders
• Oversee and manage the reporting process for the year group
• Foster a positive ethos for learning with their year group
