Each pupil will have at least one timetabled interview per year with a member of the Pupil Support Team. Most pupils will be interviewed more regularly than this for a variety of reasons. Members of the team will be pleased to discuss with parents any matters of concern.

All Pupil Support staff play an active role in the Primary-Secondary Liason arrangements in order to know the pupils for who they will have responsibilities in August.

Form Tutors
When pupils first start at this school, they are put into a Form Class in the charge of a Form Tutor. This teacher is responsibly for supervising pupil's attendance, absences, distributing letters, and notifying pupils daily of events happening in the school. All notes explaining absence should be addressed to this teacher.

Because they see their Form Tutor on a daily basis and because they remain with the same Form Tutor as they progress from one year to the next, pupils soon develop a close relationship with their Form Tutor. This relationsip may be such that pupils will confide to their Form Tutor any problems that are worrying then or difficulties that they are experiencing. The Form Tutor will always do their best to resolve these difficulties but should they presist, the pupils will be advised to consult their Pupil Support Teacher.

The Principal Teachers Pupil Support work closely with the Form Tutors on a daily basis.
