• First point of call is always the Tutor• Tutors oversee Personal Study Diaries• Tutors provide assistance and advice for students• Tutors help students to work on revision and study

methods• Tutors are the ones who know students well enough

to know when something’s wrong• Tutors are the ones other staff speak to when they

are pleased/unhappy about something• Tutors are the important people Heads of House

will go to when looking for information on you for references in Year 11

• If you feel you need to speak with a more senior member of the pastoral team then contact the Head of House

Safety - Anti Bullying & E-Safety

We will not tolerate bullying at BBS and we are always looking out for any incidents in lessons and during social time. Students must come and talk to use if there has been an incident on social media the night before or use the email address below. We can help!

Reportbullying.bbs@taw.org.uk

Students can also use this email if they see anything that they should not have seen on the internet or if someone is trying to contact them using social media or preferably tell someone in school.

Safety - Anti Bullying & E-Safety

We will be asking students to submit applications to

become one of 12 Anti-Bullying

Ambassadors

Restorative JusticeRestorative processes bring

those harmed by conflict and those responsible for the harm, into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.

The restorative processes give victims the chance to tell offenders the real impact of the harm caused, to get answers to their questions and an apology.

The restorative processes holds offenders to account for what they have done, helps them understand the real impact of what they’ve done, to take responsibility and make amends.

• Address conflict• Build

understanding• Strengthen

relationships

We want all students in Year 10 and 11

to have a safe and enjoyable place

to learn and for them to all to lead by example

These are very important years and students will never get them

back!

Be the best you can be! Your target! We assume students

will make 3 levels of progress from Year 7 as an absolute minimum

This forms the basis of interventions

Target grades would put the student in the top 25% of similar students nationally

3. RAG your revision guide, revise that topic, then choose topics from SAM Learning that you are weak on to test your knowledge
