The Personal Tutors are managed by Directors of Studies. The Director of Studies role is to co-ordinate the work of the Personal Tutors, oversee student programmes and progress and to provide more focused personal welfare and safeguarding support. Parents/guardians who wish to see a Personal Tutor or Director of Studies 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.
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.
