The Tutorial System provides individual support for the pupils throughout their Downside career. Each pupil, whatever their age, has a Tutor to supervise and guide his or her academic progress. Tutors are attached to particular houses where they work in conjunction with House Masters/Mistresses and they are in regular contact with parents.
Pupils see their Tutors at least three times a week, twice during lesson time when issues of Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship might be addressed, and in the evening during Prep (homework) time. As well as making sure that his or her tutees are not falling behind or producing unsatisfactory work, a Tutor may give advice on how to work, how to organise time or how to choose subjects and options. He or she will also encourage and support those who are struggling. Tutors will also see their tutees informally throughout the week and weekends and will often invite them for meals or organise outings.
