Tutorial Programme

Every student in the College is a member of a tutor group and participates in the College’s tutorial programme, which takes place during timetabled tutorial lessons once a week. The tutorial programme has been developed to meet the needs of students in preparing them for the worlds of higher education, employment and life beyond college. The programme involves some periods of essential administration as well as covering particular issues, which will be of value to the student in order to prepare them for playing a full and active part in society. Students are given specific advice and guidance on keeping themselves safe, and developing a wider understanding of key issues such as mental health awareness, the ‘prevent strategy’ and online safety. We hope students will play a full part in discussion of a wide range of relevant issues. A central part of the programme is the opportunity to review progress and conduct action planning on a 1 to 1 basis with a personal tutor. Students’ contributions to the programme are very welcome, including comments on its success in covering topics which they feel are relevant to them.
