ROLES and RESPONSIBILITIES of a TUTOR

Post Title: TUTOR Reporting to: the designated Head of House Responsible for: the provision of the pastoral care of students in a specific tutor group within the context of a house team to ensure the personal and academic achievement of all students. Purpose of the post: Tutors are responsible for the care, guidance and academic monitoring of approx30 students from Y7 to Y10 and Y11 ( when possible). It is the duty of the Tutor to get to know all his/her students well in order to be able to provide the very best care, guidance, support and encouragement so that each and every student is able to grow personally and achieve their academic targets during their 5 years at NSG. The tutor, Head of House and year group pastoral mentors will work together to improve the attendance, punctuality, behaviour and progress of all House students. Tutors have a duty to carry out their role to a high standard without exception as it is a key role in the pastoral care of our students.
