Burford School - Means of Separation

Means of Separation

The students are separated in a general English School System way. Each "Year Group" is divided into 8 or so "Form Groups". These Form Groups have around 30 pupils. The Form Groups will have a Form Tutor, who will register and look after the pupils. The Head Of Year deals with issues between interlinking Form Groups, and as a general looks after the Pupils. The Form Groups have various lessons together, whilst spending some apart based on ability. Subjects such as English, Religious Education and Geography are spent together until Year 10. Homework timetables have been set for the students to base their time and effort on in hope more students will apply their knowledge not only at school but at home too. http://www.burford.oxon.sch.uk/Mainfolder/HomeworkTimetable2012-13Years7-11.pdf
