The welfare,
care and development of children in this large school is the responsibility
of our tutors and Year Heads. As well as ensuring the social well-being
of our pupils the pastoral system works with curriculum leaders, parents
and pupils to ensure that pupils make good progress towards academic and
personal targets.
- Pupils
start in Lower School in Year 7 and keep the same tutor and year head
until the end of Year 9. Tutor groups are the main basis for teaching
groups although there is some setting in Mathematics and Foreign Languages.
-
Pupils move to Upper School for Year 10 and 11 with a new tutor and
Year Head. The tutor group may also change.
-
Post 16 pupils remain organized in tutor groups with a different tutor.
There are two Senior Tutors at Castle and a Head of Sixth Form.
Tutors are the first point of contact for parents followed by Year Heads
or Senior Tutors.
