At Invictus we understand that well-being is the most important aspect of a pupil’s development. We recognise that for our students to thrive they need to feel safe, fulfilled and, above all, happy in their environment.

Every student is assigned to a form which is led by a form tutor. This tutor will be the first point of contact for the students each day and is someone to whom they can turn for advice or help. Of course, Invictus is, first and foremost, a community, and any teacher is happy to help a student in need. We also have a fully qualified school nurse and trained listeners to support students' physical and mental health where necessary. 

At Invictus Spring Hills, we take safeguarding seriously. All members of staff receive annual safeguarding training and any contractors on campus have safeguarding procedures explained to them. Our dedicated safeguarding team meets regularly to ensure that the students in our care are protected from potential harm. As a school, we implement hiring practices to ensure the safety of everyone in our community.

Every student and teacher is also assigned to one of our four houses. Students will also get to know their house teachers well in the course of a school year and will participate in a range of activities with their house groups. This leads to a strong sense of belonging and identity as students compete together to lead their house team to victory in the weekly house competitions.

At Invictus, we understand that examination periods can be stressful for students. Students can be assigned a mentor who will have regular meetings with them to discuss study strategies, mental wellbeing and current progress.

Pastoral care is a team effort, and parents are encouraged to let any member of the pastoral team know if their child is experiencing difficulties at home or at school so that we can do our best to support them. Similarly, teachers will communicate with parents if there have been issues in school. Open communication between home and school will help every student to thrive both academically and socially.
