(up to 2 sessions per week – attendance compulsory)

This is an important part of the guidance and support system at Aquinas College.  Each student is a member of a tutor group of over twenty students. The group tutor is each student’s first point of contact and provides support with any problems encountered on a day-to-day basis as well as leading the tutorial period.  The programme followed concentrates on the personal, social and career development of the individual student.  At regular intervals each half-term, the group tutor discusses in detail the progress made in every area of college life.  This procedure is named Progress Interview and is, by design, a twoway process.  Students are required to take an active part in reviewing their work, setting specific targets to be achieved during the next assessment period as well as recording their involvement in college life.
