Mrs Peter-Simmonds

Emily Peter-Simmonds

My name is Mrs Peter-Simmonds and I am the Inclusion and Engagement Manager here at The Henry Beaufort School.

At Henry Beaufort, we want to ensure that every student is achieving their full potential both academically and in terms of their social and emotional well-being and we believe that regular attendance is key to this. I offer support to students and their families who may be struggling to attend school regularly by enabling them to overcome any barriers to attendance through regular home visits and 1:1’s with students, encouraging a positive home / school partnership. I work collaboratively with parents, putting in place strategies that can help at home as well as creating individual support plans for students in school.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more about the support I can offer.

Miss lEE

As the Attendance Mentor, I play a vital role in supporting students to maintain regular attendance and punctuality, ensuring they can fully engage with their learning and achieve their potential. I work closely with students to promote consistent attendance and engagement in lessons; I offer individual guidance and emotional support to help students overcome barriers to attending school; I also work as part of the wider pastoral support team to identify and address attendance concerns, contributing to a positive and inclusive school environment.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more about the support I can offer.

Miss Mourant

My Name is Miss Mourant and I am the Learning Hub Manager at The Henry Beaufort School.

At The Henry Beaufort School we aim to be inclusive, and my role is to specifically support students who are struggling to attend school and have barriers to learning within the standard classroom setting. This is an internal provision, and students are carefully selected by the senior pastoral team in order that we can accommodate their learning in a separate, smaller environment on campus. Here we work with each individual student on a learning plan bespoke to their needs. The aim is to improve their overall attendance and gradually reintroduce them to the mainstream lessons. As a teacher myself I understand the need to maintain close collaboration with students’ subject teachers to ensure the appropriate level of work is available for them to make progress. We also liaise with the wider pastoral team to provide emotional and mental health support when required.

Should your child be a Learning Hub student you can contact me via email.

Mr Etheridge

My name is Mr Etheridge and I am the Pastoral and Wellbeing support worker at The Henry Beaufort school.  
 
At Henry Beaufort, we want to prioritise the wellbeing of our young people.  My role means that I am providing support for students who may be experiencing a variety of mental health difficulties.  I work on a 1:1 basis with students, with appointments scheduled weekly.  I have created a safe space where I guide and encourage students to explore their own feelings and thoughts.  A young person faces countless challenges in their life, and having someone to talk to at school can make a real difference.  I work closely with our HoY’s to ensure a student is getting the correct support, and also work with the Mental Health Support Team: a branch of CAMHS that we work with when external support from therapists feels appropriate.  If you are interested in arranging sessions with myself, please contact Head of Year.  Alternatively, if you wish to contact me directly for any questions or queries, my email is below.  There is nothing too big or small.  Always reach out if you are worried or concerned about anything at all.  We are here to help.
