The following services are available to our students- be sure to ask for guidance when you need it.
Form Tutor
Each student is attached to a House named for five Plymouth Bishops- Bishop Barrett, Bishop Errington, Bishop Grimshaw, Bishop Kiely and Bishop Vaughan. The Form Tutor is primarily responsible for each student’s daily well-being and progress, and is the first point of contact for parents.
Your form tutor can provide you with a range of advice and can refer you to Connexions or the College Nurse for personal advice.
The Form Tutor acts in the role of a consultant, offering encouragement and counselling, as occasion requires. Some students make a great deal of ‘use’ of their Form Tutor, and others very little; the point is that the Tutor is there for consultation whenever needed.
Pastoral Leader
Your Pastoral Leader is there to support you and your Form Tutor through difficult issues concerning behaviour, attitude and attendance. Any student can approach a Pastoral Leader and ask for guidance. The Pastoral Leader will be able to direct the student to further assistance.
Big Brother and House Prefects
Big Brothers, School Prefects, other senior students, and indeed all members of the School are actively invited to give priority to looking out for other students.
College Council
If you have an issue you think needs to be address, write it down and ask your tutor group Council Representative to raise it at the next Year Council meeting. The Year Council will then decide if it needs to go to the College Senate.
Quiet Room, Chapel and Lay-Chaplain
Our College Chapel and Lay-Chaplain personally aim to promote, on a daily basis, a sensitivity to the needs of others. The Lay-Chaplain provides each Form Tutor with the means to deliver a focus based on a theme to all members of the College community. He teaches a reduced timetable to provide space for his wider pastoral role. While the Christian ethos of the School is one of the essential components of our community life, the Chaplain will also honour the spiritual needs of those belonging to other faiths. His priority is to offer a sensitive response to the deeper feelings and questions of all young people.
