The Tutor Programme
The SRPA Tutor Programme for our KS3 and KS4 students consists of Ready to Learn (R2L), House assemblies, Personal Development lessons and Personal Development Days.
In R2L students are prepared for the week ahead by taking part in reflections on their performance. R2L Tutors will ask students to evaluate their own performance, evaluating their attendance and the number of House Points achieved! This allows students to set short term targets for personal improvements, and to see how they are contributing to the longer-term goal of winning the Governors’ Cup for their House.
At SRPA we are committed to enabling our students to become well-rounded citizens. In our R2L programme we have opportunities for students to hear about world events and key themes throughout the year, both through assemblies and news broadcasts. This helps raise awareness of spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) issues, with British Values themes explored throughout this programme too. Aspects of this are also reflected in our weekly quiz, to boost the team spirit and encourage healthy competition between the R2L groups. We also have our Drop Everything And Read (D.E.A.R.) initiative, which aims to improve students’ reading ability and stamina by allowing them time to read books that interest them and bring them enjoyment.
The foci for this year are as follows:
The Tutor Programme for KS5 students is slightly different to the younger students. They have their own personal tutor who support their personal development through 1-1 interviews, developing personalised programmes of enrichment, supporting them towards their next steps. As a part of their enrichment programme our Ks5 students support the KS3 and KS4 students with their Tutor Programme with activities such as paired reading, mentoring and buddying.
