Year 11

Mr R. Walters

Being a Year Group Leader is about providing opportunities for all the students in the cohort. It is also about providing pastoral and academic support by getting the students to engage with their tutors and class teachers to help guide them to develop their full potential.

Every child matters and it is our duty as the pastoral team leaders to make sure the needs of all the students are met. We encourage the students to be leaders, take on responsibilities, show resilience, engage in the school community, show initiative, have a voice, be their BEST, and prepare for the future. Having led three cohorts, starting in year 7 through to year 11, it has been a rewarding journey witnessing the growth of all of the students as they develop into young adults ready for the real world. The biggest reward for myself in this role, is trying to make sure that all the students are successful and fulfilled, whereby they believe anything is possible.

Miss N. Ashwell

Being an Assistant Year Group Leader has given me the chance to help our students mature into young adults, who are able to achieve their dreams and aspire further. It is imperative that our students have the ability to maintain positive relationships with staff and students alike. I make it my priority to ensure students feel safe and comfortable in and out of school and have the confidence to discuss issues they may have.
