         The 
        tutor group is the centre for each pupil’s daily work. The tutor groups 
        meet twice a day with their Tutor and we regard this as an important 
        part of routine work. Parents wishing to talk over any problems are 
        asked to contact the Tutor first. If the matter cannot be easily 
        resolved then please approach the relevant Assistant Head or Head of KS3 
        or KS4. |

         Our 
        Home / School Agreement was created in 1999 and distributed to all 
        households with children in the 11-16 age group attending school. This 
        agreement is the result of a government directive that all schools 
        should have such an agreement, but it must be stressed that signing it 
        is NOT a legal requirement; it should be seen as a genuine effort of all 
        parties concerned to work together for the good of the pupils. |

         | Bullying only affects a few pupils in 
        this school, but we recognise that for those few it can be very 
        distressing. There is a firmly established pattern of helping both 
        victims and bullies which has worked very well since its implementation 
        some years ago. Our approach now has drawn much praise from the County. |  |  |
