Our vertical tutoring system means that you will be in a form with students from all year groups (from year 7 all the way up to year 13). Most form groups will have 4-5 students from each year group. This might seem a little bit daunting but it is run in such a way that you will build friendships and get support from older students.
"If you want to ask a question, the higher up years will know the answers and help you" (Abisanth, y7)
You will spending a lot of time with your tutor so you will get to know them quickly and they are a key point of contact anytime you need support.
Tutor times will include a range of activities including learning about current affairs, playing board games and completing challenges and quizzes alongside some time for independent reading and completing homework. There will also be house competitions throughout the year where you can earn house points!
You will attend assemblies during tutor time on a regular basis. Sometimes these will be with your house, sometimes with your year group, and sometimes with a larger groups of students.
"You get to hear a wide range of opinions from different year groups" (Warren, yr 7)
