Form Group and Tutorials

All students at Sir Isaac belong to a form. You’ll find that the students in your form follow the same subjects as you and will be in some of your classes too. This means that you will build good friends and strong support networks in and out of your lessons.

Each week you will have a one-hour tutorial with your form tutor and this is a really valuable part of your education. This will be with the same teacher each week and will consist of learning about study skills, organisation, university and apprenticeship applications.  You'll also cover issues beyond school and we'll equip you with an appreciation for the communities and wider-world in which we live.

As part of form time, you will also have a regular one-to-one with your tutor giving you a chance to talk about how you are getting on, your attendance and any concerns you may have.
