Pastoral Care
During the school day the care of each young person is in the hands of the class teacher for primary pupils and the group tutor for secondary pupils. These teachers are the pupils’ main pastoral link. Pupils are also supported in their learning and personal care by a skilled team of Teaching Assistants. In the residential wing each pupil has an identified member of the residential management team who looks after pastoral needs. This member of staff links with an identified member of the teaching staff to ensure appropriate links between the day and residential section of the school.
Parents are welcome to discuss any problem with their child's class teacher or group tutor or a member of the residential management team. Usually this will be at school but should you want us to visit you at home, we will be happy to do so.

Ash Field Academy has completed Leicester City’s Positive and Peaceful Places Award. The school have developed Emotional Literacy Support for all pupils, providing opportunities for them to express their thoughts and feelings. Through pupil voice they communicated the value of this resource and felt it positively supported their wellbeing. The school has also embedded restorative approaches, helping pupils resolve conflicts and strengthen relationships. An existing outdoor space was redeveloped to engage all five senses, ensuring that all pupils can access the area to support wellbeing, self-expression and meaningful interaction within the environment. Through these initiatives, Ash Field Academy has created a calm, inclusive environment that fosters a strong sense of belonging for all pupils.
