| Summary: | A look at the pastoral work carried out by the team of sixty-five support staff at Swanshurst School in Birmingham. Swanshurst School lies close to Edgbaston Cricket Club and currently has 1800 pupils. The programme focuses on the role of the learning mentors, school nurse and parent link workers as they deal with sickness, absenteeism and exam pressure. Headteacher Elaine Kenney outlines the philosophy that underpins the ethos of the school and says that "the school is a family there to help one another at times of trouble, strife and even tragedy." And in support of this the caretaker/site manager of the school, Derek Jones, tells a moving story of how all the students and staff helped him through a desperately difficult time when he lost his wife, son and three grandchildren in a terrible car crash. |
