Commentary

1.  The tutor is the primary contact for the pupils. Tutors fulfil the function of being the

member of staff who ‘knows the pupil well’.

2.  Each tutor group (register class) has 25 pupils. Each of the 4 classes is linked to a single
Principal Teacher of Pastoral Care (Head of House) within the school’s vertical House
structure. The tutor and the Head of House work as a team to support the pupils and the
latter provides advice and support to the tutor.

3.  The tutor delivers the Personal and Social Education programme to his/her own tutor
group. In addition they are expected to be part of the team delivering aspects of any
learning skills programme through their own subject teaching.

4.  Each team of tutors meets with their Head of House on a regular basis e.g. every 4

weeks. These meetings normally take place at 3.35pm.

5.  In S1 and S3, the tutor or Head of House meets with the parents for 10 minutes to talk
through all aspects of the Interim reports issued in term 1 and wider issues of how the
pupil has settled into the school or the S3/S4 curriculum.

Staff Development

It is important to realise that undertaking the role of tutor is an important part of
professional learning for teachers and is essential in our delivery of health and wellbeing as
a responsibility for all. Skills will develop over a period of time.

This post is open to female applicants only *

About BSARCS
In 1987 a small group of women from a variety of backgrounds came together on a voluntary
basis with the aim of developing a support service for women and girls in Barnsley.  Two years
later, they opened a helpline service for women  who had experienced sexual harm, initially
operating on a very limited budget and for two hours a week, with no premises of their own
and the bare minimum of equipment.

In  the years  since  then  BSARCS  has  grown  beyond  recognition  and  in  the  year  2024/25  we
provided specialist therapy, advocacy and support to around 1500 women, men and children
who have experienced sexual violence or harm as well as to their relatives.
In the same year, we also delivered specialist training courses to over 800 professionals in the
borough.

BSARCS is governed by a Board of Trustees and currently has around 30 individuals working
from  our  Barnsley  premises,  including  our  CEO,  Business  Support  Team,  Training  &
Development Team, Adult Services and Children’s Services.  We also have a team of volunteers
supporting our work.

We are committed to partnership working and, as a result, our funding streams are diverse,
attracting both statutory funding and charitable grants.

working in this field and provide clinical supervision to all of our employees, irrelevant of their
role.
