The Year 11 tutor team has a variety of experience and skills across subjects; available for students
in Year 11 to ask for advice and help with their studies and progress. The tutor team has been attached
to their forms for varying amounts of time, but many have built up great relationships and bonds.
Form tutors have daily contact with your child – if you have any concerns or queries please do not
hesitate to contact school by either telephone or if possible email. Please email the office with your
child’s name and form group and it will be forwarded on to the relevant person.

Wednesday Week 1 – pupils are taught PSHE by their form tutors lesson 5. The following topics will
be covered throughout year 11:
- Writing Personal Statements for Post-16 Applications
- Completing Applications for Post-16 choices
- Curriculum Vitae writing
- What qualifications mean
- Unemployment
- Homelessness
- Sexual Health and Relationships
- Illnesses
- Domestic Violence
- Information on the local support agencies
There are also many opportunities throughout the year to attend visits to various Colleges and
Universities to give students a feel for what life would be like there and help them make choices
about where to apply for their Post-16 studies. These are just some of the trips that will be available
for students to attend:
- Post 16 Convention in school and at Godmanchester where potential employers and Colleges
gather to give information to the students
- Peterborough Regional College
- Cambridge Regional College
- Essex University
The Year 11 Council
There are 16 members of the Year 11 council – the House Captains from each form group, and then two
members who have been elected to the full School Council along with the Head Boy and Head Girl. The
council meet with Miss Reeve before and after a full council meeting to discuss any issues pupils have
about school and then feedback is given to the individual form groups.
The Charities that the Year Council has decided to support for any fund raising events are:
Prom Rewards
Students are rewarded with money off their prom ticket. Attendance, hard work and effort are rewarded.
Reports
There are 5 reports over the two years, three in Year 10 and two in Year 11 which count towards money off vouchers.
1 Excellent Certificate (all subjects are on target) = £2 off
1 Good Certificate (all but one subject are on target) = £1 off
This gives students the opportunity to earn £10 off the cost of their prom ticket.
Attendance
Year 10 Attendance |
100% = £5 off
99% - 98% = £4 off
97% - 96% = £2 off
95% - 94% = £1 off
|
Year 11 Attendance |
100% = £5 off
99% - 98% = £4 off
97% - 96% = £2 off
95% - 94% = £1 off
|
Once again, this gives the students the opportunity to earn another £10 off the cost of their prom ticket.
Therefore some students may earn a free ticket (depending on the cost of the tickets each year).
Progress Files
A progress file is produced at the end of year 10 and continued into Year 11. Pupils keep a record of any
certificates or qualifications they have gained over Key Stage 4 and anything relevant from Key Stage 3.
Pupils take their progress files to interviews to show colleges and employers their strengths. The following
link is the contents page and an idea what is required of the student to put into their progress file.
Committees

below are details of the committees and some of their roles and responsibilities:
- Duty Team – help staff monitor corridors before the start of school and at break times and help enforce good standards of behaviour.
