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.
