Meet Your Form Tutor

All children should have received the information about who their form tutor will be. Select the tab for the correct form group to find out more about their form and to meet the form tutor. If you are unsure which form group your child has been allocated to please contact school for confirmation.

This is where you will begin each day with your form tutor. Form Tutors are the main point of contact for any student. Form Tutors will get to know all their students well through discussions with staff and students, communication with parents and will help students to get organised for the day ahead by:

  • Taking the register and following up on any absence;
  • Checking uniform;
  • Checking that students have all of their equipment;
  • Delivering form time activities;
  • Discussing individually with students any rewards/sanctions they may have received in lessons;
  • Guiding and advising students and parents on dealing with day to day issues and concerns;
  • Promoting a positive ethos for their house and fulfilling the expectations set by the house system;
  • Monitoring students on Form Tutor report.
