The high quality of Markethill High School’s pastoral care provision has been recognised as a strength by the Education and Training Inspectorate and the school places great emphasis on the provision of appropriate Pastoral Care for all pupils. A system has been designed to build up the pupils’ confidence which enables them to understand themselves as individuals and to develop sound relationships with other pupils and staff at the school.

Key members of the pastoral team are the Year Heads: Mrs McMaster, Mrs Elliott, Mrs Henry, Mr Henry and Mr Hanna, along with form teachers who look after a particular form class.

The form teacher assigned to each class will endeavour to build a good relationship with each pupil and is also responsible for primary guidance, counselling and discipline throughout Key Stage 3.  Each pupil meets with his/her form teacher for registration or assembly and the form teacher is a key contact, should your child or you have any concerns. 

All pupils in Years 8-10 follow a programme of Personal Development within Learning for Life and Work. Form Teachers and Year Heads are supported by Senior teachers and the Principal, Mr Maxwell.
