Tutoring
| Bedstone prides itself on a strong tutorial system. From the third form (Year 9) upwards every scholar has a personal tutor with whom they will meet weekly to discuss every aspect of the scholar’s life and well-being. Each tutor will have about eight to ten tutees to look after. The tutor will be in regular contact with parents and it is the tutor who is often the first point of contact when parents wish to find out about their child’s progress.
The tutor will provide help not only with personal issues but with academic choices, assisting with time-management, university entry applications, and advice on writing the personal statement. The tutor will also prepare the reference for the candidate who, by now, he or she knows very well. Below the third form the form registrar is also the tutor for those in his or her registration group. |
