I am Sarah Kibble, Pastoral Manager at Queen’s Crescent School. I have worked in the school since 2004, and became Pastoral Manager in September 2017.
My duties include the following:
- To be a point of contact and liaison between families and other children’s agencies, such as social services.
- To assist with the transition and induction of new pupils into the school.
- Ensure that children who are having difficulties, either at home or school, receive help and guidance.
- Help Parents and Carers to access advice and support when needed.
I am also a trained ELSA – Emotional Literacy Support Assistant. This means that I can work with children who have emotional and social difficulties on a one-to-one basis, or as part of a small group. I can use a range of activities to assist with this. As I am also trained as a Basic Counsellor I can listen and guide children who may benefit from talking to someone about their problems, this can be either a ‘one-off’ drop in session, or a longer series of talks on a weekly basis.

If you have any concerns relating to your children, or have any issues or worries you would like to discuss, I can be contacted on the school number 01249 460190 between 9am and 3pm, or by email pastoral@queenscrescent.wilts.sch.uk.
Alternatively, I can be approached on the playground between 8.45 and 9 am most mornings.
