Role of tutors Your child’s tutor is normally the first point of contact about school-related matters. You will receive reports throughout the year and we will contact you on any specific issues relating to your child’s education or welfare. Please contact your child’s tutor with any information that might influence their welfare and happiness or if you have any concerns about their life at school. Tutors will make contact with parents early in the first term and exchange contact details. Prefects/mentors The senior house prefect and house prefects are appointed from the Upper Sixth by the head of house. They are essentially the conduit between boarder and the house staff where necessary. Prefects’ responsibilities include assisting the staff in the running of the boarding house and helping in both the pastoral support and safeguarding of welfare of the pupils in their house. Prefects are expected to use their status and authority in a mature and sensitive manner and, in turn, expect the respect of those under their care. They are given guidance by the head of house in how to carry out their duties and in safeguarding and child protection. Pastoral care 16
