Pastoral Care Guidance and Support
My name is Mrs Sanger and I am the manager of the Student Support Hub at Goldington Academy.
I have been in the education sector for nearly twenty-five years and have built up a large portfolio of training and courses along the way. For example, I am a qualified Learning Mentor and hold qualifications in areas such as child bereavement, anger and behaviour management, and a range of therapies aimed at ensuring good mental health and wellbeing for children and young people.
At Goldington Academy, we know that for pupils to reach their full potential they need to feel safe, properly supported, and happy at school. We make it our goal to ensure this happens for every pupil.
