Pastoral Care

A key investment is in our boarding staff. Our house parents and their assistants are faced with a greater range of boarding legislation than ever before, and are committed to professional development in all aspects of boarding education in the best interests of the children in their care

The boarding community at DRSIS provides a friendly caring environment which is based upon family values.  All boarding houses are maintained by live-in Housestaff who in turn are supported by supervisors and matrons.  Their role is committed to getting to know each individual pupil as well as ensuring that pastoral and academic monitoring takes place.  Housestaff are also involved in organising evening and weekend activities; cinema, bowling and shopping to name but a few.

We aim to give every pupil an Education for Life, with academic
achievement as its core but with social and life skills at its heart.
Girls and boys living with us do very well. . They do not have to spend hours each day traveling back and forth. Everything they could want is close to hand. Need

to look something up for homework on the internet? No problem, we have masses of computers and of course our internet software protects them from the inappropriate web sites
