Vertical tutor groups

Tuxford Academy students are organised into four Colleges: 

  • Ash
  • Beech
  • Oak
  • Willow  

Within each college, there are 15 Learning Teams (Vertical Tutor Group). 

  • Each Learning Team consists of approximately four students from each year group (about 20 students).
  • Some Learning Teams have two tutors.
  • Three or four Post-16 students are attached to each Team for part of the week. The older students have opportunities to act as leaders, advisers and assistant tutors within each Learning Team.
  • Learning Team time is twenty minutes a day, in the morning.  At this time, everyone takes part.
