Before lessons begin each day, you will spend time with your tutor group during Tutor Time. This is an important part of the school day and is designed to help you feel settled, organised, and ready to learn.
Your Tutor plays a key role in supporting you as you transition into secondary school. They are the main adult who gets to know you well and will help you prepare for the day ahead. Each morning, your tutor will check your equipment, such as pens, pencil cases, and any items you need for lessons, helping you build good organisational habits and independence.
Tutor Time includes a variety of activities that support both your learning and personal development. These may include:
- Reading time, to develop literacy skills and encourage a love of reading
- Assembly, where students come together to hear important messages, celebrate achievements, and reflect on school values
- Personal Development sessions, where you will learn about topics such as wellbeing, friendships, safety, respect, and life skills
Tutor Time is also a chance to receive important information about the school day, upcoming events, trips, clubs, or reminders. If you ever feel unsure, worried, or need support, Tutor Time is the perfect opportunity to speak to your tutor, who is there to help.
Overall, Tutor Time helps you start each day feeling safe, supported, confident, and prepared. It is a welcoming part of school life that helps Year 6 students settle into routines, build positive relationships, and develop the skills they need to succeed in secondary school.
