Pastoral care is a pivotal feature of CNS, providing a network of support for our students and families. In terms of pastoral care, every student has three important people in their life: their tutor, their pastoral leader and their head of key stage.

We also have a school nurse that is available to our students to support both their physical and mental health and development. Our school nurse also supports our PSHE curriculum in terms of delivering assemblies and workshops around sex & relationship education and consent.

Parents and carers can also seek advice and support from our vulnerable learners co-ordinator (Mrs Green), family support worker (Mrs Budd), or the assistant headteachers linked to key stage 3 (Mrs De Bruyn), key stage 4 (Mrs Armistead), who can help with anything from financial support to accessing support from external agencies.
