Mrs Tindall - Pastoral Lead
My role as Pastoral Lead is to support the emotional wellbeing, personal development, and overall happiness of our pupils and staff. I work closely with the teaching staff, support staff, and leadership team to ensure that every child feels safe, listened to, and valued.
Children thrive when they feel happy and secure, and I am here to help them overcome challenges, celebrate their successes, and develop the confidence they need to flourish both in and out of the classroom.
As part of my role, I also offer support and guidance to families. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns or simply want to have a chat — I’m always here to listen and help wherever I can. You can contact me via the school office on 0161 624 1377 or email me at pastoral@st-edwards.oldham.sch.uk
As a trained Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) I play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of both students and staff. I am equipped to recognise and respond to the early signs of poor mental health. I promote a positive culture of openness around mental health and wellbeing by raising awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting wellbeing initiatives across the school.
It is my job as a trained Rainbows & Sunbeams facilitator to support children and young people who are grieving a loss, such as the death of a loved one, parental separation, or any other significant life change. I run weekly age-appropriate sessions that provide a safe, supportive space where children can explore their feelings, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience in a safe and supportive environment.
We are proud to have been awarded the School Mental Health Silver Award, in recognition of the work we do in promoting and ensuring mental health is prioritised for all in school
