Tutoring

"You cannot fault the pastoral care given by this school!" exclaimed one pupil. "My tutor is my rock" said another.

At The Leys, each child is allocated a tutor to oversee their academic and personal development. In Years 7 - 11 this is done on a House basis and in the Sixth Form there is an element of consultation. Tutors provide a mentoring role for pupils, acting as a sounding post to discuss any concerns - academic or otherwise - which may arise, as well as a focus for academic performance, development and attainment. The tutor provides a good link between pupils and parents and is a key contact for tracking academic development. Tutors meet their tutees on a weekly basis with allocated time in the timetable

The Leys has a highly effective Learning Support Department which underpins pupils' academic performance as well as individual development.
