Form Tutors

YEAR 8

YEAR 9

YEAR 10

YEAR 11

In any school, things can occasionally go wrong.  When that happens, we want to make it as easy as possible to address any issues for parents/carers.

A way of preventing problems from developing is for you to encourage your child to share any problem or anxiety with her form tutor, subject teacher, Pastoral Support Manager or Head of Year, or one of the Assistant Headteachers or the Deputy Headteacher, however trivial it may seem.

Pastoral Support Managers

The primary role of the Pastoral Support Managers is to ensure the wellbeing of the students in their respective year groups.  They also act as Attendance Officer for their individual year group.   You can address any queries about any aspect of your child's education or any other pastoral issues to them:
