Tutors 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 and Mistresses and they are in regular
contact with parents.
Pupils see their Tutors at
least twice a week, once during lesson time for Personal,
Social, Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship, 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.
