Care and Welfare - Tutor Groups/ Year Team Leaders

Student welfare & wellbeing is of huge importance at Ashby School.

To make sure that all students get the care and support they need, they are each assigned a form tutor who is their first point of call with questions or concerns.

Form tutors meet their tutor groups every day during morning registration and accompany them to assembly and other year-focused activities.

Tutor groups encourage students of all years to work together, and give form tutors a chance to monitor the academic and social development of individuals in the group.

Each year group is overseen by a Year Team Leader who helps to monitor the personal welfare, progress and general conduct of students in the school.  In Key Stages 4 & 5, Year Team Leaders are supported by Raising Standards Leaders who work to support students to close academic gaps.

Year Team Leaders and other pastoral support staff in Key Stage 3 & 4 are based  in Year Rooms which are staffed full time every school day to support with students’ concerns, attendance, rewards and discipline, alongside academic and welfare issues.
