SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM (SLT)
PRINCIPAL DEPUTY HEAD
(PASTORAL & WELLBEING)
MR TOM HICKS
The Principal Deputy Head (Pastoral & Wellbeing) oversees the
Whole School provision of pastoral care and is also the Designated
Safeguarding Lead (DSL). They are the primary point of contact
for all issues pertaining to the safety of our pupils and community
and are responsible for coordinating the responses to any such
cases. They act as a line manager for a number of our Houses and
coordinate the strategic direction of the School, and in particular, how
we go about developing our pastoral care.
DEPUTY HEAD
(PASTORAL & WELLBEING)
MR SIMON MILDINHALL
The Deputy Head (Pastoral & Wellbeing) ensures the smooth
operational running of pastoral care for the Upper School as a whole,
and focuses on the Senior School and its Houses on a day-to-day
basis. They do so by maintaining regular contact with all of the
House Masters / Mistresses (some of whom they will line manage)
via a number of weekly meetings. They are a Deputy Designated
Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) and are therefore also directly involved in
managing the School’s response to issues concerning the immediate
safety of our pupils as well as deputising for the Principal Deputy
Head in their absence. They directly manage other members of the
pastoral team, including the matrons.
ASSISTANT DEPUTY HEAD
(PASTORAL & WELLBEING)
MS KIM GRATION
Harrow Hong Kong is privileged to have a third tier of pastoral SLT
in the form of an Assistant Head (Pastoral & Wellbeing). Again,
they undertake the duties of a DDSL and also line manage some of
our House Masters / Mistresses, as well as the Gap Tutors who are
attached to the Prep School. The Assistant Deputy Head (Pastoral
& Wellbeing) manages the day to day running of the pastoral
provision in the Prep School. They also coordinate a number of the
key “stand alone” projects that the School undertakes to enhance its
pastoral provision throughout the year, for example, the Wellbeing
Ambassadors programme, the weekly ‘Pulse’ survey and the School’s
commemoration of World Mental Health Day.
Collectively, these three members of the SLT are responsible for
ensuring that the School’s pastoral provision functions effectively and
continues to remain relevant, dynamic and innovative.
