Year Advisers work closely with the school Wellbeing Team and teachers to support individual students.
They are an ideal contact for parents who wish to raise issues or concerns about their child - usually concerns that are non-academic or not specific to one subject.
If, for example, your child doesn’t seem to be on top of their homework or says they’re not getting any homework, the year adviser would be the person to call. They can have a chat with the teachers involved and get back to you. The same goes with social problems your child may be having - Year Advisers try to get to know all ‘their’ students on a more personal level and can keep an eye on how your child is progressing.
Year Advisers are dedicated and an integral part of the school community. They work closely with staff and parents to provide the earliest possible intervention that prevents problems for their students.
