Assemblies & Tutor Time

In light of our pastoral perspective, the position of a form tutor holds immense importance within the school. Tutors serve as the steady pillars of support for their assigned students, acting as a vital connection between home and school, and shaping the overall student experience.

Despite the brevity of tutor time during the school day (07:15–07:30 every morning), a student’s progress within the school is undeniably intertwined with the pastoral guidance provided by their tutor. We firmly believe that the foundation of our pastoral vision is strengthened as our tutors purposefully embody and exemplify the ethos and values of our school.

Weekly assemblies are conducted for every student. These gatherings commemorate global events such as World Space Week and World Literacy Day, and acknowledge acts of kindness, adherence to school core values, academic accomplishments, and exemplary attendance.

In addition to assemblies, students engage in a tutor programme during weekly tutor sessions, with a focus on PSHE, wellbeing, and a general knowledge quiz. Each student is assigned to a tutor group consisting of peers from different year groups, fostering a sense of community and promoting student guidance and leadership.
