The Pastoral System

Every student has a tutor who will usually follow their group through until the end of their time at school.  Tutors work in a team under the direction of a non-teaching Head of Year (HOY) who will also remain with the year group throughout their five years. 

The pastoral structure is divided into Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 with an Assistant Headteacher responsible for each.
