Pastoral Support

Support for All

At Surrey Maths School we believe that students learn best when they feel supported, working in an environment which enables them to thrive. All of our staff are carefully recruited to ensure that as well as bringing the highest level of pedagogical skills they also embody our ethos of caring for every student, by getting to know their individual needs and building strong teacher-student working relationships. This creates a learning culture which values individual differences, celebrates each student's successes and puts appropriate, timely support in place whenever it may be needed. 

Tutors are the first port of call for each student and they have regular 1-1 meetings with students to support their academic and personal progression.

PSHEE (Personal Social Health Economic Education) is a key part of our curriculum offer. As well as helping our students to learn how to navigate the real word, PSHEE gives them a key opportunity to develop their soft skills through exploring areas such as diversity and racism, mental health and wellbeing, being a global citizen, finances and the future. PSHEE provides a time for debate, independent research and reflection, and a space in which our students are encouraged to listen with care, respond thoughtfully and learn from each other.

We also have a specialist School Counsellor on our team, Veronica Davidge. Veronica works to support our students as needs arise, offering weekly individual counselling sessions during the school day. 

Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

Surrey Maths School is equipped to support students with a variety of Special Education Needs and Disabilities. We are open, inclusive and accessible to all. Our only requirement is an aptitude for and a love of maths. Beyond that, we work with parents, carers and students to ensure that we support each and every young person to settle into life here at SuMS. We work to ensure that our SEND support is personalised, bespoke, and meets the needs of all pupils.
