Prep School Boarding & Day The Tutor System
The Tutor System
In years 3-4, the form teacher takes principal responsibility for the pupils. When they move through to year 5, the children start being taught by subject specialist teachers and this continues through to year 8. In addition, personal tutors are allocated to small groups in year 5 through to year 6, and then again in years 7 and 8. The role of the tutor is the lynchpin to the success and happiness of each pupil. Tutors are there to monitor academic progress and motivate pupils but, more importantly, to offer support on every level, guidance and friendship, whenever it is needed.
Regular tutor group meetings ensure that all pupils are given enough time to get help, share their experiences, and discuss any worries they may have.
