Year 6 Parents Guide 2024-25

18 What happens during my child’s tutor team Our school values are taught through the Tutoring Programme, which underpins and supports our school values of Ready, Respectful and Engaged. Our aim is to develop our student’s personal qualities so they become confident, well-balanced young adults who set no limits on what they can achieve. Each week a different characteristic provides a focus for the KJS community which we explore in assemblies, form time as well as it being referred across the curriculum. The role of the Form Tutor The Form Tutor has an essential role to play in the pastoral organisation of the school and reinforcing the school ethos of Ready, Respectful, Engaged. They form the link and create the line of communication between the administration of the school and the individual pupils and you their parents. The Form Tutor meets their tutor group each morning for 25 minutes to: • Make sure that the pupils are fully aware of the school values of Ready, Respectful and Engaged and what is expected of them each day around school. • Help and support students to take control over their behaviour and be responsible for the consequences of it. • Create the sort of relationship that will offer pupils the individual care, concern and guidance that can otherwise so easily be lost in a large school. • Monitor students’ academic and pastoral progress regularly. • Develop relationships with parents to enable linked support of the pupil. • Be the point of contact for children, parents and subject teacher. • Support the House System by helping select teams, reminding pupils of events, encouraging participation and helping with the larger House meetings. • Support school in monitoring the attendance and punctuality of their form including reminding them about the importance of good attendance, bringing in absence notes and passing information on to relevant people to ensure records are accurate.
