Tutoring Advice & Guidance

We provide a wide range of support to give you the advice you need, not just in your studies, but also your life outside school.

Sixth Form Tutoring 

As part of Sixth Form, you’ll have a one-hour tutoring session each week built straight into your timetable. Think of it as a space to focus on you — your goals, your wellbeing, and your future.

Each week, you’ll explore the school’s Gospel Theme of the Week, taking time to reflect, pray, and talk about what it means in real life. It’s a chance to connect big ideas to your own experiences and what’s going on in the world around you.

In addition, these sessions will give you practical support for sixth form and for life after sixth form: from UCAS applications and interview prep, to exploring revision strategies, how to manage a healthy work-life balance, information on apprenticeships, careers guidance, budgeting, eating well, and RSE (Relationships and Sex Education). Everything is designed to help you feel confident and prepared for whatever comes next. You’ll also have time within these sessions for 1:1 mentoring with your tutor for some more personal guidance.

The sessions are designed to be open, engaging, and relevant — a place where you can talk honestly, think critically, and develop personally.

You’ll also receive a short daily email with a prayer, reflection or meditation to help support your mental wellbeing throughout the week.

Weekly Assembly 

Once a week the year group come together to reflect and pray on the Gospel theme of the week and how it can help to guide our lives.

Culture and Faith Studies 

All our students attend a weekly discussion lesson on current issues, culture and mental wellbeing.  These activities help to put all your other subjects into context.  The discussions also enable you to share ideas and opinions with a diverse group of 6th Form students studying a mix of subjects.  For more information visit our page on Culture and Faith.

Pathways A 

Fortnightly Pathways A talks by invited experts give you the opportunity to extend your experiences beyond the classroom.  We explore a range of relevant PSHEE topics, including helping you to develop your organisational, study and employability skills.
