Nurture (Caterpillars)
Welcome to Caterpillars
Caterpillars is the nurture room at Steyning C of E Primary. It is run by our Children’s Mentor, Ellie Yurtsever. We provide non-judgemental pastoral support and guidance to pupils and their families, promoting high expectations, raising aspirations and facilitating academic progress. Caterpillars is a safe place that has a home-like environment where all children are welcomed, nurtured, valued and empowered in order to overcome barriers to academic, social and emotional learning.
Such Barriers may include:
