Role of the Form Tutor
The form tutor is the first point of contact for learners and parents. The form tutor meets learners in the morning and will provide or collect any information that is needed and monitor learners’ attendance and punctuality. They will also ensure that all learners are properly equipped and wearing the full uniform, and will promote the ASPIRE values. This allows all learners to start and end their academic day successfully.
Form Time/PSHE Curriculum
Learners attend form mid-morning for 15 minutes. They will have daily activities that support Mental Health and Wellbeing and activities that support learning in the curriculum. Assemblies take place every Wednesday morning and are delivered by SLT, the Year 7 pastoral team, specialist teachers or an external speaker. This will be delivered using Teams. Once every two weeks the form group will complete a RSHE session, these lessons are planned to help young people develop fully as individuals, as members of families, social and economic communities.
Home Learning
Learners in Year 7 will be expected to complete homework from each of their subjects on a weekly basis. Their subject teachers will set deadlines for each individual piece of work.
Enrichment Sessions
Learners are encouraged to attend afterschool sessions which are offered to them across the curriculum. We also encourage learners to take part in extra-curricular activities in a variety of subjects. They are also encouraged to engage with the Pledges, as research shows that children who attend extra-curricular opportunities tend to be more successful.
Further Enrichment Opportunities
Throughout the year a variety of enrichment opportunities take place. Learners have the opportunity to become a transition leader and develop their leadership skills during the summer half term as year 6's visit the school for their transition days. As a year group we also hold events throughout the year to raise money for our chosen charity.
