Tutor Groups
All students belong to a tutor group which forms a crucial part of our pastoral structure at Falmouth School. Tutor groups are formed within a year group and the number of tutor groups may vary depending on the intake. Each tutor group is overseen by a dedicated tutor who in effect acts as the key adult for those students. The role of the tutor is really important: tutors welcome their tutees every Morning Greeting, celebrate their readiness for learning and support them where necessary. During tutor time, the tutors deploy a range of activities that form a consistent diet across all year groups, such as reading activities, learning skills activities, PSHE and Personal Development activities, depending on the year group. In addition, the tutors serve as the first port of call for the parents. Tutors get in touch with the parents and families to promote and celebrate attendance, offer support and also monitor the progress and success of all students as individuals and as a tutor group.
Learning Leaders
Learning Leaders oversee the tutors and their tutor groups. The Learning Leaders get to know the students really well as they work with the students and tutors daily. We have three Learning Leaders: Learning Leader Y7-Y8; Learning Leader Y9-Y10 and Learning Leader for Y11. Students in the Sixth Form also are in a tutor group: their tutor programme is adapted based on their educational journey and the needs to support their life skills and independent living.
