Pastoral Care

Louth Academy has extremely high expectations of all students, which is reflected within our Behaviour Policy. We have a rigorous safeguarding policy that ensures all students feel safe at the Academy and are supported whenever needed. A consistent approach, positive rewards, clear sanctions and an emphasis on behaviour modification form the foundation of our ethos. This ensures students become well rounded individuals ready for their role in wider society.

Teachers support the pastoral system by:

- Setting high expectations of all students
