Welcome from the Deputy Head Pastoral
Mrs A Sharman

Central to our ethos is the belief that emotional wellbeing and academic growth are inseparable. We teach pupils how to recognise and manage their own emotions, how to empathise with others, and how to reach out for support when it is needed. In this way, we help them develop not only as learners, but as compassionate, confident and resilient young people, ready to make a positive contribution to the world.
Across the school, we work together to build a culture of respect, empathy, and community. We want every Kerem pupil to know that they belong, that their voice matters, and that there is always someone to talk to when life feels exciting, confusing, or even hard.
Our strong pastoral system — rooted in relationships, empathy and community — ensures that every child has trusted adults and peers to talk to, regular opportunities to be heard, and the space to grow in confidence and resilience.
Our House System creates connections across year groups, offering opportunities for pupil to take leadership roles, become ‘buddies’ to younger pupils and demonstrate kindness, Tikkun Olam and to become fully engaged, global citizens.
We are also incredibly proud of our dedicated Wellbeing Room which sits in the centre of the school, reflecting our commitment to place emotional wellbeing at the heart of school life.
