Pastoral Care

At Badminton Sixth Form every student is known and offered tailored support to achieve their full potential.

In the Sixth Form, students gain a new level of ownership over their study routines and spare time. This independence is underpinned by bespoke care and guidance as staff take on a coaching and mentoring role, offering advice, support and, when needed, a safety net. We have an on-site health centre, which includes access to professional counsellors, as well as a peer mentoring programme.  

To thrive, we know it is important for you to feel part of a supportive network. At Badminton, the tutor group system is central to Sixth Form life. Your tutor groups will be small (around 10-12 students) and comprise of a mixture of students from all academic disciplines and all walks of life. 

It’s ok to ask for help; your Form Tutor is your first point of call for academic and pastoral advice and always makes time for you

We know that it is important for the whole Sixth Form to come together as a community; regular Sixth Form assemblies offer individual tutor groups opportunities to take turns to lead on topics of interest. At the beginning of each term girls participate in fun team-building activities. In previous years this has included escape rooms, axe throwing or high ropes.
