Intent Statement 

At Leytonstone School we believe that there should be no lost learning moments.  For us, learning begins at 8.40 during carefully sequenced and planned morning Pastoral Curriculum sessions, delivering a variety of activities, which underpin both our personal development and our academic curriculum areas.  Through our ambitious Pastoral Curriculum, we aim to broaden cultural capital, break down barriers, raise aspiration and guide our students to make thoughtful, measured choices.  Every morning, tutors are equipped with bespoke resources ensuring that there is both breadth and depth to our pastoral offer. 

Overview

Assemblies

Each week, there is a menu of age-appropriate activities, which meet the needs of our Leytonstone learners.  Weekly assemblies offer an occasion for the whole year group to gather together.  These assemblies may relate to our 'theme of the week' which often will coincide with a national event or recognised motn (i.e. Black History Month). Each form group will have the opportunity to deliver one assembly throughout the academic year.  We are equipping our students to be global citizens.

Leytonstone Canon

At Leytonstone, we firmly believe that developing student literacy and reading is the work of all staff.  To this end, there is a bi-weekly tutorial focus on our Leytonstone Canon to develop that life-long love of reading.

Pastoral Curriculum

Twice per week our pupils will engage in topics that focus on debating skills, regulated decision-making, character development, healthy peer interactions to name but a few. These will link to our extensive fortnightly PSHRe lessons.
