It is a system of school organisation based on
communities or houses rather that year groups. Within each house students are
placed in tutor groups with students from other years in the school.
 |
We plan to have houses each led
by a Head of House. Each house would consist of students from Years 7 to
13. |
|
Each tutor group would have 4
or 5 students from each of the years 7 to 11 such that the whole tutor
group will consist of between 20 to 25 students. |
|
Sixth Form students would not
be in the vertical tutor groups. |
|
This would apply to the 25
minute tutorial period each day (10 minutes on a Friday). Lessons would
continue to be taught in year group classes as now. |
|
Assemblies would be House
assemblies with Year Group assemblies when necessary. |
|
Personal, Social, Health
Education/Citizenship would continue to be taught in year group based
classes |
We believe that it will further improve our
school and help to make us outstanding. Through our research, we
have seen at first hand what a difference it can make and schools
that we have visited have told us that it is the best thing that
they have done. The benefits include:
|
A more cohesive school
community |
|
Support for younger students |
|
Leadership opportunities for
older students |
|
Increased individual support
and guidance |
|
Stronger partnership with home |
