The Year System
We try to ensure that all pupils work together to achieve their full potential through a supportive, purposeful and caring Year System. This is led by a Director of Learning.
Each Tutor Group has its own base which is used for registration and tutor periods.
The Tutor
Tutor groups are organised into mixed ability groups. The tutor group has its own tutor. The tutor is responsible for supporting the pupils in their care in all aspects of school life; academic, social and personal. They will monitor academic progress through the National Curriculum using data information circulated on a regular basis. Furthermore they will support pupils in maintaining a good disciplinary record. They should be able to give advice and guidance on any matter which might affect the individual’s work and personal development.
There is an agreed programme for tutor time for each year group.
Director of Learning
All of the tutor groups and tutors are managed by the Director of Learning. They are responsible for co-ordinating the work of the year as a whole and monitoring overall progress in the National Curriculum.
They ensure that the whole Year group work together effectively and maintain high standards of discipline by working with the Student Support Team and Heads of Department. The Director of Learning help to organise and oversee assemblies.
