Tutorial Programme
Progress Tutors will help you settle in and guide you towards achieving your personal best, from your first day until the day you leave. The College encourages parents/carers to contact your Progress Tutor if they are concerned about your progress or welfare. They aim to empower you to take responsibility for your learning and they are an advocate between you, your subject teachers and your home. They’re also available if you want to discuss personal issues and signpost you to other organisations that can help you.
You will be timetabled to meet regularly with your Tutor and your tutor group. During these meetings, your attendance, progress and effort will be monitored and you will also be prepared for the next stage in your life, be it university, an apprenticeship, a gap year or the world of work. Attendance at tutor periods will be an essential commitment for you and an integral part of your time at St Brendan’s.
We believe you are a young adult and our tutorial programme, delivered by your Progress Tutor, focuses on enabling you to plan and develop your studies so that you leave St Brendan’s with a much clearer understanding of yourself and the variety of options that are open to you beyond sixth form.
Note: Our Progress Tutors used to be called "Academic Mentors"
