At The Tutorial Foundation

Our Mission:

• To help students overcome barriers to learning
• To improve engagement through a stimulating, multisensory learning environment
• To develop the Tutorial Foundation’s focus on personalised learning pathways
• To provide a robust and supportive pastoral network for all our children and young people

Our Day School provides a nurturing, caring, family environment for students in Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

We have very small classes and offer individualised academic pathways to help our students achieve their full potential. As many of our young people have EHCPs and are often school refusers, our SENCo and Student Manager ensure they receive the support they need to achieve their outcomes and improve attendance.  Students who need literacy support, follow a programme to boost these critical skills.

Alongside their academic lessons, our students also participate in more therapeutic and extra-curricular activities such as cooking, art, PE and craft to build their self-esteem, self-confidence and independent living skills.  All of our young people have access to a school counsellor, student mentor and where necessary, a learning mentor.  The majority of our Year 11 students move onto college, vocational training or remain in school to gain further qualifications whilst our short-term respite students, are successfully transitioned back into mainstream at the end of their temporary placement.
