SIXTH FORM - PASTORAL SYSTEM

The Year 12 Tutor

On entry to Year 12 students are allocated a personal tutor whose group comprises fewer than twenty students. The tutor should be regarded as a mentor who is both adviser and counsellor on personal, social and academic matters. There is regular contact time allowed for tutors to meet with their students.

Assessment Profiling

The tutor is responsible for organising the assessment of students on a regular basis and also for compiling records of achievement or student profiles, which are a matter for negotiation between tutor and student. The agreed profile record of achievement serves as a basis for future references, which are the responsibility of the tutor.

Monitoring of Students

Students work and progress is regularly monitored and parents are contacted immediately if there are any problems - we believe we can get the best out of the students with support from home. There are two Parents Evenings held annually in October and February. A tutor based mentoring system is in place
