01 — SOMEONE TO TURN TO
Listening & guidance

Pastoral Care
Known. Supported. Valued.
A homeaway fromhome.
A place to belong, the freedom to grow, and people who care. At Atlantic Hall, pastoral care is woven into everyday boarding life.
A place to belong.LIFE AT ATLANTIC HALL
Care that makes a difference
Every child deserves
to feel they belong.
School should be a place children enjoy returning to. Somewhere to share experiences, build lasting friendships and discover their independence.
Our houseparents, counsellors, teachers and safeguarding team work together to understand each student and provide the personal support they need to make the most of life at Atlantic Hall.

01 / Boarding & belonging
A space of their own.
A community to share.
Our six hostel houses provide separate accommodation for junior, senior and SS3 girls and boys. Private quadrangle gardens, shared rooms for five to six students and private en-suite bedrooms for SS3 students help create a welcoming place to live.
House life encourages thoughtfulness, consideration and independence, with personalised attention and open communication between students, parents and staff.
Keeping families connected
Parents can contact the boarding hostel lines on designated evenings: Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Confidence & character
PSHCE explores real-life issues, healthy relationships, personal safety and wellbeing. Student leadership gives young people opportunities to take responsibility.

Respect & understanding
Anglican, Catholic and Pentecostal services take place on Sundays. Muslim prayers are led by a visiting Imam on Fridays and Sundays.

Reassurance for parents.
Care for every student.
Our school clinic provides round-the-clock care, with separate male and female wards. Parents are contacted immediately if a student needs to be admitted.
A dedicated ambulance supports emergency transfers to external medical partners or a hospital chosen by the family when necessary.
Beyond the clinic, boarding staff work with teachers to support academic progress. Dedicated prep time gives students a consistent routine for homework and study.

04 / Everyday life
The little moments.
The lasting memories.
Friendships grow over meals, games, birthday celebrations and relaxed Sundays. Weekends make room for sports, movie nights, picnics, music, drama and time to unwind.
Our dining hall serves Nigerian and continental meals, with menus developed alongside student representatives and Dining Hall Prefects. Shared meals also nurture social confidence and dining etiquette.
05 / Safeguarding
Feeling safe.
Being heard.
Knowing who to ask.
Safeguarding underpins our pastoral care. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead team works with the Designated Governor for Safeguarding to protect students and keep their wellbeing central to school life.
Bullying, including cyberbullying, is treated as a major sanctionable offence. Awareness campaigns, the Anti-Bullying Student Pledge and Anti-Bullying Week help students practise tolerance and respect.
