Tutor Time
Tutor Time
We use form time to engage students in a variety of activities to help inspire and encourage them as they progress through the year. Please see below the weekly timetables for each form:
Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 | Year 10 | Year 11 |
Form time covers the following aspects:
Literacy
Students read relevant texts then discuss issues that relate to their year group, along with key PSHE topics. Tutors read the book aloud and students follow with a ruler. The tutor will then lead a discussion about the themes within the text. Students also look at the word of the week in the Literacy tutor lesson.
Careers
Students access Unifrog helping them to make informed decisions about careers and pathways to different careers including sixth form, college, apprenticeships and universities. In Year 7, students look at key competencies including; leadership, organisation, resilience and initiative. Year 8 students look at their GCSE options and the key competency of communication. In Year 9, students further develop key competencies and a well-being focus. Years 10 and 11 look at the post-16 application process, the world of work, volunteer opportunities, choices and decisions.
Students in KS3 have the opportunity to achieve a Core Values Hero Award, recognising those who have developed and evidenced the school Core Values.
Make it stick
Students work through a five-week rotation including; how do we learn, spelling quizzes, numeracy challenges, subject-specific knowledge retrieval quizzes and student presentations.
Them and Us
Students work through activities linked to our School Core Values and British Values. Students will also develop an understanding and develop skills that promote kindness, living without harm and respect for themselves and others.
In addition, Year 11 students also receive subject-based intervention in different subject areas.
