Tutor Group
The member of staff who will be most important to you during your time at Sir John Lawes will be your form tutor. He or she will see you at least twice every day, for registration, and will get to know you and help you to feel comfortable and safe during your time in school, so you can put all your effort into getting top results in your lessons.
Who will be in my tutor group?
We plan our tutor groups very carefully, trying to create a healthy balance between putting new students with people they know and like from primary school and giving them the opportunity to make new friends.
Your tutor group is a 'ready made' group of friends. There are inter-form and House competitions such as quizzes and decorate your form room for Christmas which are always great fun and you get to earn house points.
Every tutor group elects form representatives to join the Year Council and could go on to be elected to join the Student Junior Leadership Team.
What happens in form time?
Form time is when your tutor takes the register, once in the morning and then again after lunch. During form time you might:
- do a fun quiz
- attend an assembly, this will normally be with the whole year
- discuss the SJL thought for the week
- read a book
- compete in an inter-form or House competition
- your form tutor will also read out any notices in form time
