Form Tutors
A Form Tutor’s role is central in both caring for students, and monitoring their progress both academically and socially; encouraging involvement, commitment, and high standards of work and behaviour. The Form Tutor should be active in looking after the interests of the “whole child”.
A Form Tutor should:
- Take the register
- Set the “tone” for the day, by creating a positive ethos
- Encourage high standards of work, behaviour and dress in students, liaise with the Heads of Year over behavioural problems; look to reward achievements positively and implement, where necessary, appropriate sanctions
- Promote, maintain and monitor records of attendance and punctuality
- Actively supervise students in Assemblies; Form Tutors are encouraged to help with leading, organising and to participate in all aspects of the assembly
- Monitor and review their students’ current progress across the curriculum using all the data provided
- Keep parents fully involved regarding students’ progress, including curriculum related or behavioural concerns
- To monitor the progress of students within the form group through discussions with students and staff, through data reports, mentoring and student reports
- To identify students who need mentoring through analysis, and discussion with the Head of Year making use of the school data management system – paying attentions to groups such as SEN, G & T and FSM
- To liaise with subject staff and Heads of Department about individual students progress and student reports in conjunction with the Heads of Year
- To check that students are prepared for learning and have the correct equipment and books for the day
- Attend weekly pastoral meetings with the Heads of Year
