Tutor Program
Our tutor programme is an important part of daily school life. Each pupil is assigned to a dedicated tutor who provides ongoing guidance, support, and encouragement throughout their time with us.
- Our tutors play a vital role in:
- Monitoring academic progress and wellbeing
- Helping pupils set and achieve personal goals
- Offering advice on school life and beyond
- Building positive relationships that reflect our values of respect, integrity, and kindness
By embedding this programme within our school culture, we make sure that pupils are not only prepared for their exams but are also equipped with the confidence and resilience to succeed in life.
