Pastoral Care
We realise that moving away from home can be a mixture of excitement and sometimes worry so we have invested heavily in our extensive network of personal support that exists throughout the residences.
'Pastoral Care' refers to this support which is provided by our teams of Wardens and Tutors who all live in the Halls amongst the students.
We place great importance on this provision of out of hours and weekend support to help you get the most out of your time in our Halls.
