Monitoring and Support

Your child will have an assigned tutor and be part of a House-based group of pupils of the same age who meet twice a week. The tutor is focused on supporting your child academically and there is a strong, continuous dialogue between teaching staff and tutors to ensure your child is supported at every stage of their education.

In addition, a highly experienced Learning Support team works across the College and works closely with teachers to ensure the support programme in place for each pupil is tailored to meet their specific needs.
