Tutor Sessions

To supplement our core RSHE curriculum, students also explore a range of topics in their daily vertical tutor sessions and assemblies. Each week in tutor time there is a different debate topic. For example, ‘Do mobiles phones negatively impact our mental health?’ and ‘Does hard work really pay off?’. These themes for each week are planned so students can purposefully and intentionally learn about issues relating to RSHE, British Values and citizenship, Character Education and mental health. Each tutor session also gives students the opportunity to learn and discuss local, national, and worldwide news.
