What support is available for new pupils that take longer to settle?

All staff keep a close eye on new pupils and are vigilant in looking for signs of homesickness or lack of confidence.

Pairing up existing students with those new to life at Leweston is the best way to get them to settle so everyone is given a guardian on arrival. New students are also encouraged to join in with the activities and clubs on offer and supported in finding other pupils with similar interests. It is sometimes helpful for new joiners to know that getting used to the routines and rhythms of a new school is a common experience for everyone. Academic and boarding staff are there to help.
