Practical Information

All students belong to a tutor group and spend time with their tutor twice a day. This person is their first point of contact for help during the school day and also for parents. In addition, each year group is managed by a Student Progress Leader.

We have very strong links with our partner primary schools and these pupils have many opportunities to visit Settlebeck and to work with our teachers in their primary schools before they join us.

We also have good links with our local sixth-form colleges, ensuring a smooth transition after Settlebeck too. Many Settlebeck students go on to become Head Boy and Girl in their sixth-forms and we are told by the receiving colleges and schools that, at 16, our students are confident, well-adjusted, well-educated young people.
