Welcome to Lathallan School

"High quality pastoral care and the hard work of staff to meet young people's individual needs."  HMIe

Lathallan takes its pastoral care responsibilities very seriously and prides itself on its warm and friendly environment. With our enviable student to tutor ratio, Lathallan is able to ensure that all pupils are known to staff and concerns are quickly observed and addressed by the pastoral care team. A dedicated care team consisting of Matrons, Housemaster and Head of Pastoral Care meets regularly to focus on welfare related issues for both day pupils and boarders. Most important within our flexible system is that the students know that there is always more than one tutor available to listen, advise and support, no matter what the problem is.

Our care and welfare is subject to inspection by the Care Commission twice a year and we continue to receive excellent reports. These reports can be viewed on www.carecommission.com.

As our pupils grow through the senior school and their thoughts start to turn to life after school we are already working closely with the Independent Schools Careers Organisation (ISCO) who will be supporting the delivery of psychometric tests and follow up interviews, the most current advice on University entrance and the new “Futurewise” package.
