Vertical Tutor Groups

 

Oakgrove has a unique way of helping students support each other. Form classes are grouped across the age range of the school, so that two adults serve as tutors for a group of students made up of three students from each year group.  This allows better one-to-one support for everyone.  Support comes in all manner of ways tailored to the individual needs of our pupils including:

​

• Promotion of positive attitudes and behaviours

• Student reward systems

• Mentoring support

• Revision programmes

• Careers advice and support

• Target setting

• Assessment to support learning

• Transition workshops

• Positive staff/student relationships

• Targeted academic intervention

• Counselling services

• Monitoring, recording and tracking progress
