Heads of Year & Tutor Teams

Our students are looked after by a superb team of pastoral care staff who are organised into year groups. Year 7  have specialist staff who are expert at the transition into secondary school, supporting children, parents and carers and liaising with primary schools to ensure a smooth transition.

In Year 8, students stay with the same tutor and Year team for three years - through Year 9 and Year 10.

Students then move to specialist Year 11 team who are expert at supporting young people through their exams, through their decisions regarding post-16 education and help them transition into their post-16 education and training successfully.

Please use this email address to contact the pastoral team during school holidays.  In an emergency 999 should always be called.
