Supporting You

You will have a form group and will register each morning with your form tutor. As a Sixth Form tutor the core role is to support students as they strive to become independent adults. Support comes in many forms and is adapted to the individual needs of the particular student.

Sometimes your tutors may need to help you come to terms with the fact that things are not going well, identify the causes of the issues and work through a study plan with you; liaison between teachers, students and parents is a key aspect of this. Concerns raised by an individual teacher would lead a tutor to investigate further and identify if the issue is subject specific one or whether it is a small piece of a larger picture. Depending on the nature and scale of the concern we may contact parents and arrange a meeting. Likewise, if parents raise a concern, we will happily meet with them and work together to resolve the issue. This approach allows the students to feel there is a supportive network around them which can be tightened and released when appropriate for them.

Who can I talk to?

Mr Martin, Head of Sixth Form

Mrs Brown, Deputy Head of Sixth Form
