Expectations and purpose of

Year 11 tutorials


Tutorial Expectations

• Continually try your best

• Respect others in the room

• Always sit in your designated seat

• Put your hand up if help is required

• Remain quiet unless otherwise instructed

• Remain in your seat throughout the session

• Respect the presentation of your booklet and use it for revision

• Walk straight to your seat and begin the starter

What is the purpose of the tutorial sessions?

Each tutorial session provides a high quality 25 minute revision session which will ensure

that everyone has a firm grasp and understanding of the key knowledge, skills and

methods which are required to be successful in your exams in Maths, English & Science.

The sessions are designed to help you learn or practise in areas which will support you

improving your GCSE grade in these core subjects.

Over the year these sessions will provide 60 hours of additional revision, support and

intervention which is the equivalent of an extra week of school.

But remember the amount of effort, work and focus you give to these sessions will impact

on your future and that of your future families. So make it count, make them proud and go

on to ‘Achieve Greatness’.

To ‘Achieve Greatness’: Demonstrate real commitment by researching the prepared topics

before the tutorial sessions or seek advice from teachers after them.
