  • make a successful transition into adulthood
  • have the opportunity to fulfil their potential

Wellbeing Tutors

Each pupil has a wellbeing tutor who will stay with them throughout Years 7-11. 6th form students have a specialist 6th form tutor bespoke to their academic needs. All tutors act as the primary pastoral carers for our students as they meet with their students on a daily basis.
