The Tutor Time programme at Fairfax is a positive way to start the school day.
NOTICES
Students meet with their form tutor to hear the notices from the student bulletin to aid communication and to hear about all the upcoming events they can be involved in.
NUMERACY AND LITERACY
Numeracy and Literacy are key skills for life, and our coordinators provide a rich and varied set of activities throughout the year.
The importance of reading cannot be denied and we have a weekly registration reading slot for all year groups.
ASSEMBLIES
An important part of school life is the gathering of the students in one place, and so house and year group assemblies fill the school week, and students get to hear messages from their Heads of House and Heads of Year on a regular basis.
THE WORLD AROUND US
Once a week, students have the opportunity to self review, or to hear about a ‘hot topic’. In this ever-changing world, it is important for students to be kept up to date with national and international events.
CAREERS AND PSHE
PSHE is also addressed in tutor time, as well as in timetabled lessons, and the Sixth Form Tutor Time programme also incorporates a specific careers focus on post 18 choices and examination support. The Sixth Form tutors discuss with the students options available to them and are the first line of support in the package available to our year 12 and 13 students.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Student Voice and Student House Council meetings take place during Tutor Time. This is an opportunity for our students to develop their skills for team working.
During Eisteddfod season, students have time to work on their entries for all the categories available to them.
In addition, our peer mentors and supporters in years 10 to 13 will meet with their mentees during Tutor Time.
The image on the left give a examples of the varied activities that take place in KS3, 4 and 5, and these are updated each half term.
