Welcome to the College
Starting College
Year 7 Form Tutors
The role of a form tutor.
You will meet with your Form Tutor daily, they will take a register, pass on important notices and deliver the tutorial programme. The programme covers topics such as keeping healthy, staying safe online, relationships and how to manage your money. Your Form Tutor is your first point of contact if you have any worries or concerns, as well as helping you keep track of progress in lessons.
Get Ready for Year 7 Transition Home Activities
As part of our package to welcome students to Year 7, we have the following activities to complete at home.
