As part of our Tutor Programme we have year group tutor groups. Our Tutor Programme is a sequenced and coherent personal development programme of assemblies and Tutor Time sessions that instil the skills and qualities that establish a learning culture.
Tutor Time provides robust age appropriate guidance and academic and pastoral monitoring. Students engage positively with each other and our tutors evoke a strong team spirit. Tutor time operates at between 10:25am and 11:00am for 20 minutes. Each tutor delivers a comprehensive weekly programme to support our Curriculum building an inclusive, caring culture and ethos whilst also fostering personal development and social understanding.
The Tutor Programme promotes and monitors attendance, conduct and praise and encourages students to engage in our wider Elective curriculum enrichment opportunities such as after school activities, sport and performance activities and trips and visits . Tutors engage tutees in activities such as Tutor Time reading, Drop Everything And Listen, an Assembly, a reflection on the assembly through key messages, Mental Health and Wellbeing and a celebration of the achievements and attendance of students. Key Stage 4 students focus on the development of wider organisational, literacy and numeracy skills in addition to receiving bespoke revision support.
Tutors will ensure that all students understand our Academy Conduct Expectations (ACE) and values. Our Tutor Programme meets the emerging needs of students and community, while always ensuring that students are exposed to high quality speakers including student led assemblies and presentations.
