Form Tutors and Tutor Time

Students in the Fortismere Sixth Form are organised into form groups, overseen by a specialised team of Sixth Form tutors who have a wealth of experience in supporting young people make the transition to Sixth Form study and, eventually, to successfully apply for their next steps beyond school.

Students attend form time daily from Monday-Wednesday, where they benefit from a pastoral curriculum including:

• Assembly: A planned programme of presentations every other week to support the wider pastoral curriculum and mark important awareness days, weeks and months that reflect the diversity and wellbeing of our community.
• Study Skills: Information and activities to support students in developing successful learning habits and routines.
• Futures: Information and activities to help students to research and prepare for post-18 education and training.
• Life Lessons (PSHRSE): Age appropriate lessons on mental and physical health, sex and relationships, and citizenship.

During the final form time each week, tutors schedule one-to-one mentoring meetings with their tutees in order to provide individualised pastoral support.

If a student has any worries or concerns, or if a parent has any worries or concerns about their young person, in most instances their form tutor is the most appropriate first point of contact.
