How do we care for students?
Keeping in Touch
q
We aim to establish a partnership
to promote the maximum achievement for all students.
q
We have established a number of
ways of keeping you informed about your child’s progress in the School.
q
The Student journal
q
Parents’ evenings
q
Letters and phone calls where
necessary
Assemblies
Our Assemblies consider humanitarian and topical issues that concern
everyone and, though largely based on Christian principles, are designed to
value and not exclude any other faith.
Assembly
Year System
Each year group has a Year Co-ordinator, who sees that the students’
day to day needs are met, maintains and overview of academic progress and
ensures that proper standards of behaviour are maintained.
q
Each year is divided into Tutor
Groups of around twenty-eight students.
q
The Tutor watches over and
encourages progress, both in school work and in the wider context of growth to
adulthood.
q
Where possible, tutors remain
with their tutor group throughout the School.
Year and School Councils
As a way of encouraging responsibility in the School, Tutor Group
representatives form a council, which meets to discuss matters affecting that
Year Group.
The Year Councils each elect two of their members to the School Council
whose role is to make Tamworth Manor an ever more effective school.
Student Journals
All students are provided with a Journal for communication between
school and home, in which:
q
They are expected to record
details of all homework.
q
It contains vital information a
student needs to follow to be successful at Tamworth.
q
It is regularly checked by the
Tutors
q
Details of any detentions are
recorded as formal notification to Parents/Carers that the student will be
detained after school.
Senior Students
Selected students in their final year are awarded the status of ‘Senior
Students’ and take part in a programme of paired reading and ‘buddying’.
Both activities are designed to support younger students in the school.
