Tutorial
Students in Year 12 and 13 have 2 tutorial periods per week and during these sessions, they have input on the topics:
- PSHRE
- Careers
- Physical and emotional wellbeing
- Independent Learning & VESPA
- Digital Skills
- Employability skills
- Politics and Citizenship
- Financial Independence
- Post-18 options
- UniFrog, MOOCs and wider reading
- UCAS Preparation and guidance
- Preparing for the future
- Exam skills and study preparation
To complement this, there is also a digital element that is shared with students via Microsoft Teams, further developing on the digital skills needed for students’ future progression.
Students in Year 12 have an additional 1 hour timetabled Personal Development lesson a week where we explore these themes in a much greater depth.
