what us generally accepted as a pastoral need for a school

[everythingsposy]

Just that really. Have not got in to our preferred choice, have many reasons for wanting to go but wondered what is viewed as in this category?

Will depend on if infant class size and if school had exceptional social need as a priority. If yes and no respectively then nothing should get them a place.

If not ICS then maybe something like child has suffered bereavement and having therapy to come to terms with this and needs support of nursery friends who are all going to appeal school.

Does the school actually have a category for pastoral need?
