Tutorial Support

EACH STUDENT ENROLLED AT HEREFORD SIXTH FORM COLLEGE WILL BE ALLOCATED A PERSONAL TUTOR WHO WILL BE A DEDICATED MEMBER OF STAFF WHO WILL OVERSEE YOUR PERSONAL WELFARE AND ACADEMIC PROGRESS WHILST AT THE COLLEGE.

YOUR DEDICATED PERSONAL TUTOR

All students have one to one progress reviews scheduled during the year to allow time to reflect upon your progress and discuss any personal issues which you may be experiencing directly with your allocated Personal Tutor. You will also be able to arrange to see your Personal Tutor in the Tutorial Hub whenever you require their support or advice. Your Personal Tutor will help you to develop your plans about what you want to do after leaving College and will support you with achieving them. Parents/guardians who wish to see a Personal Tutor or Lead Tutor on behalf of their son or daughter, may arrange a meeting by emailing them through the Parent Portal or be contacting them through the College Reception.

LEAD TUTORS

The Personal Tutors work closely with your allocated Lead Tutor and the Safeguarding and Pastoral Manager and Academic Progress Manager. Your allocated Lead Tutor’s role is to advise and work collaboratively with Personal Tutors and their tutees to oversee student programmes, progress and to provide more focused and targeted personal welfare and safeguarding support.

PROGRESS REVIEW EVENINGS

There are regular Progress Review Evenings at which parents/guardians are invited to discuss individual student progress with their Subject Tutors and Personal Tutors, and where advice on careers and higher education is given. Details are included in the Student Handbook & Academic Diary and the Parents’ Handbook.

HEREFORD SIXTH FORM COLLEGE WAS A FANTASTIC PLACE TO STUDY AND I’LL NEVER FORGET MY TIME THERE OR THE TUTORS THAT HELPED ME. YOU HAVE AN INCREASE OF FREEDOM AT COLLEGE AND THE SUPPORT YOU RECEIVE FROM TUTORS IS FANTASTIC.
