Tutorials
Study Skills and Personal Development
Tutors help teach the independent kinds of academic study which Sixth Form courses require. They also help students to manage their time effectively. This prepares students to take responsibility for their own lives when they enter Higher Education and employment. Tutors and invited speakers also teach issues related to health, society and citizenship. In Year 13 students are prepared for practice interviews, with debriefings, by local employers.
In addition,Tutors are responsible for monitoring student attendance, progress and relationships with staff and fellow students. They co-ordinate records and reports, and prepare references. They are the main point of contact for parents, and can be contacted via the Sixth Form Secretary (01273) 410711.
Tutors will try to support students in coping with any decisions of difficulties that may arise. They will also enjoy hearing about personal successes and achievements.
General Studies
A Level students are encouraged to take General Studies as an extra A Level. There is no coursework. The exam tests general knowledge, problem-solving skills, and awareness of politics, the media, social and ethical issues, science, and the Arts. Your Tutor teaches this course.
All students are encouraged to take part in Vocational Experience away from the College for up to five days. National Certificate students generally have placements included in their course, either for one day a week or for longer periods. Students organise the placement with the help of tutors.
