Role of the Form Tutor

The tutor system is central to the academic monitoring and pastoral care of all pathways students in the middle and secondary schools. The tutor is the first point of contact for both the student and his or her parent for information concerning academic progress and wellbeing or for solving problems that might arise in the student’s life. The tutor should also celebrate the student’s successes and communicate these to the parent. It is important that the tutor get to know all his/her tutees well in order to help and guide them.
Opportunities to meet the group in structured time happen daily at registration and during tutor periods, at community service and during PSHE lessons. Tutors should also arrange to meet their tutees individually at least once a month.
