Tutor Sets

At the heart of our pastoral care is our unique Tutor System, in which Tutors provide expert, individualised and bespoke support for your child, particularly focusing on helping them achieve their full academic potential.

Students meet in small, mixed-age groups with their Tutor as they progress through Years 7 to 10 or Years 11 to 13, catching up frequently each week to ensure they get continual, specialised individual attention tailored to their needs. During Tutor Set time, your child can learn from and socialise with children with different backgrounds and experiences, supporting and encouraging each other in all that they do. Your child will benefit from significant help that is relevant to the particular academic and pastoral challenges facing them at that stage of their school career, from transition to a new school to aiming high with university applications. 

Your child’s Tutor is the person in School who knows your child best and, for parents, acts as the single-point of contact for all enquiries relating to your child. Your Tutor will celebrate all of your child’s successes with you and support them as any difficulties or worries arise, alongside our wider pastoral team and Wellbeing Centre staff. Working with you, your child and their teachers, your Tutor will do all they can to ensure that your child has everything they need to be happy and successful at school.
