Role of the Form Tutor
The form tutor is a vital part of learner’s life at Rayner Stephens. Learners have daily contact with their Form Tutor, this allows Tutors to monitor the progress of their learners in all aspects of school life. Form Tutors are there to help and support students and are the first point of contact for parents / carers.
Form Time/PSHE Curriculum
Learners attend form each morning for 15 minutes. They will have daily activities that include; Literacy, Mathematics, Current Affairs, ASPIRE core values, mental health and wellbeing. Once every two weeks the form group will complete a PSHE 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 8 will be expected to complete homework from each of their Subjects Teachers. Their teachers will set deadlines for each individual piece of work. There is also a homework club that takes place within school.
Afterschool 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. There are also a number of sporting clubs offered to all learners.
