Form Time

Students attending Trinity Academy Carlton Mill will be part of a Key Stage 3 or a Key Stage 4 tutor group. Students will spend time in tutor time every day and will follow part of their personal development curriculum through this period.

Students are with their form for form time every day. This gives students the daily opportunity to reflect on the academy’s core values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. This is done in a variety of ways – through collective worship, year group assemblies or through our Weekly Wellbeing sessions, which include activities and discussions on topics such as healthy eating, literacy, bullying and environmental issues. The time spent each day in their form group plays a central part in the lives of our students. It develops the students’ emotional and social wellbeing and ensures they receive the pastoral support needed to succeed at the academy.

A core part of form time is working to support one another, and recording successes. Students receive Achievement Points when they meet and exceed expectations, and a Behaviour Point is used to record when a student does not meet expectations. Behaviour Points affect a student’s ability to participate in Rewards Weeks. Points are recorded in planners during form time, along with attendance. All students are expected to strive for 100% attendance, and maintain a minimum of 96%. Support is given to students to help them stay on track, and develop new and more challenging targets when they meet an existing one!
