Joe Silvester, headmaster at Wetherby Senior, writes about working with the charity Beyond Equality and offering a Great Men Lecture series to boost self-awareness in pupils
The challenges of the modern world continue to increase for all young people and at Wetherby Senior we are focussed on helping our pupils develop the tools to overcome these challenges. Our objective is for boys to leave Wetherby Senior as self-aware young men who are compassionate and thoughtful, with a keen understanding of the communities in which they live and work.
The overriding aim of Wetherby Senior School is to provide a well-rounded education that prepares our pupils to face the challenges of modern life, with a strong focus on responsibility, compassion towards others, and service to the communities in which they will live and work. We support them to grow into emotionally resilient, self-aware and empathetic human beings. The staff are committed to working with and supporting the young men in our community; outstanding pastoral care is at the heart of all that we do. PSHE lessons are led by form tutors to ensure a comfortable and familiar environment when discussing sensitive and potentially challenging topics, giving the boys open and non-judgemental fora in which to explore the issues facing them as they grow up in a complex and challenging world.
