Information for applicants

The Post

Hills Road Sixth Form College has operated a specialist tutorial system for over ten years now. This means that we have a dedicated team of tutors who look after the guidance and support needs of our 2,800 students. Tutors oversee and monitor students’ progress, their attendance, their support needs, their well-being and consider each student’s experience at the College holistically. Tutors work alongside their tutees to ensure that each student is capable of realising their potential and are the first point of contact. Tutors also deliver the college tutorial programme, known as Future Ready, Extended Project sessions and Enrichment. Ultimately, it is the tutor that gets to know each of their students well and who writes the final reference to support the student’s successful onward progression to employment, training or university.

The job description and the person specification relevant to the post are enclosed.

Organisational Structures

Tutors are supported in their role by a variety of support structures within the College. The core team supporting students is our Student Services Team who work together with tutors to monitor and support student attendance and who are on the end of a phone to receive information from parents and to liaise directly with students too. The Student Services Team also includes in-house College counsellors to whom referrals can be made for 1:1 confidential support which is offered initially as a 6 week programme. In addition, we also have Wellbeing Coordinators, who are available for student drop-in, to triage support and to signpost students to the most appropriate kinds of support for them. The tutor team collectively is known as the Guidance Team and it is led by the Guidance Leadership Team. This team consists of the Assistant Principal (Student Progress and Support), two Heads of Year and the Head of Student Personal Development who meet once a week to discuss the strategic and operational needs of the guidance elements of College and to consider case studies of students in particular need. The Guidance Team itself meets together at least once per half term to discuss a wide range of issues relating to students’ support and guidance.

Accommodation and Resources

Each tutor has their own office in the Guidance corridor where students can find them for 1:1 review meetings and informal drop-in opportunities. Each tutor has a dedicated direct dial phone line and personal laptop to allow parents easy access to them for communicating important information in relation to a student’s circumstances and potential progress.

Tutor Groups and Future Ready Programme

Students are organised into tutor groups by year group and are typically in groups of 25 which meet with their tutor once a week through Y12 and less frequently through Y13. Progress and Support tutors look after a minimum of seven tutor groups. A centrally organised Future Ready programme is delivered to each group by the tutor and includes elements of wellbeing, social responsibility and careers education & guidance. In addition, whole cohort days are run in November based on Wellbeing and a week is dedicated in February to Progression pathways and career possibilities. Training and support would be available for colleagues new to a
