Pipers is a supportive and nurturing community and visitors to the school often comment on the positive "feel" as they cross the threshold. Our pastoral care, enriched as it is by our Christian ethos, encourages an exploration of personal values and beliefs as well as a respect for the values and beliefs of others.

Form Tutors and Year Heads really get to know the girls in their care and the girls are allowed to blossom in an atmosphere where they are valued. When there are problems, we do our utmost to ensure that they are addressed quickly. We also regard good communication as an essential aspect of the partnership between school and home.

We provide sensitive support, monitoring and encouragement through:

• Induction programmes for all ages to ensure familiarity and to introduce the ethos and core values of the school.
• A comprehensive personal and social education programme.
• Support programmes for all girls which include the development of study, revision and examination skills.
• Close liaison between members of the pastoral team to ensure continuity of information and care at times of transition.
