Sixth Form Pastoral Care

Sixth Formers have specific pastoral needs and we provide comprehensive, realistic, practical and in-depth pastoral support that enables students to navigate the potential pressures of their later teenage years.

The Personal Tutor’s role is also crucial at this stage. The school is a community where each individual is encouraged to take responsibility for the well-being of the whole. UNIVERSITY ADVISORY – Admission to the best universities and the most demanding courses in the country requires more than high grades alone.

From Year 11 each pupil is assigned a dedicated University Advisor, a specialist in either: a particular subject field, certain type of UK universities or for overseas applications. We guide our students throughout the UCAS process. As a part of the Gardener Schools Group, we can draw on the resources and knowledge of other schools in the group, should we be unable to provide something ourselves.

We also encourage our Sixth Form to take more responsibility for their time and their work management. We reward their growing maturity with more freedom and independence. While still having the safety net of a Personal Tutor who will, in the case of those pupils who joined Kew House School in Year 7, really know the individual Sixth Former.
