    Monitoring Students’ Progress

    Monitoring Students’ Progress

    Supervision

    Each student is placed in the care of a personal supervisor who reads all reports and who is available to give advice at every stage. This person plays an active and crucial role throughout the course, by the end of which he or she and the student will probably know each other well. Supervisors keep in touch with parents as necessary and may from time to time suggest modifications to courses if such are felt likely to yield better examination results. They are also responsible for giving full advice and support to those of their students wishing to apply to higher education.

    In addition, Director of Studies Helen Pearce is a qualified counsellor. Students can bring any welfare or personal concerns to her for advice and support. The College Manager is also available to offer help, advice and support at any time, formally or informally and, if required, in confidence.

    Supervised Study

    Supervised study sessions are held in the College’s main study room every afternoon, except when examinations are taking place. GCSE students are required to attend two scheduled supervised study sessions of at least 45 minutes per week. A level students are required to attend one supervised study session of at least one hour’s duration each week. These sessions can be used for completion of monthly tests and coursework. Further supervised study sessions will be scheduled for those students who fall behind with their work.

    Monthly Tests

    Tutors are required to set at least one written test per month for each of their students, to be attempted under timed conditions at the College. Students sit these tests in their Supervised Study sessions.

    Mock Examinations

    Mock examinations are set, under formal conditions, in November and March each year for each subject unit in the run up to public examinations.

    Monthly Reports

    A separate progress report from each tutor is sent to parents for every month in which tuition is received. Tutors are required to give predictions for forthcoming public examinations with every report that they provide, from the second month onwards.

    Reading Weeks

    Reading weeks may very occasionally be imposed on students who fall significantly behind with homework, monthly tests or coursework, and for students whose attendance is poor. Students on reading weeks are normally required to attend College on every day, Monday to Friday, for the whole of the afternoon’s supervised session. Completion of all outstanding work and tests is required before time can be spent on other studies.

    Testimonials

    I came to Barts because I failed my A-levels at another college and was consequently unable to get to uni on the course I wanted (Biomedicine). After only a year at Barts I was able to turn my A-levels around (pretty astonishing considering it took two years to fail the first time I did them!). As a result of going to Barts, I was able get to Uni. In fact, I actually had a choice of where I wanted to go.

    Being a student at Barts was brilliant. I felt like I was listened to by my teachers and supervisor, and made to feel comfortable and supported throughout my university applications and my studies.

    My teachers knew their subjects inside out and I felt reassured that I could get through the content before my exams.

    Phoebe Jones

    Barts were amazing. My son's tutor was perfect in every way, we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing chap to not only turn 2 C’s into an A star and an A grade, but also the level of care and support was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Barts is like a family that care for you from start to finish. When the experience is all all over, you miss them. I cannot recommend them more highly. A star Barts!

    Jo Miller

    My daughter attended Barts for tuition in one subject in year 13 whilst she was at sixth form college, as ill health was affecting her grades. Everyone at Barts was incredibly kind and supportive, and they were happy to work in a way that suited my daughter. Their sincere interest in their pupils was apparent from the very first meeting. I think it is a unique and exceptional place.

    Alison Cowley

    The one to one tuition allows you to get the most out of each lesson. While the socials and common room ensure that you are far from isolated. Your individual progress is monitored as the year goes on, helping to ensure and enable you to reach your full potential. Bartholomews proved to be everything I needed and more and I would sincerely urge others to consider going here.

    Paige Allen

    Barts have helped our family in so many ways. Mike was hugely supportive - he listened and supported in very different ways.

    I can't thank them enough. From extra GCSE learning support to an extra A level - the teaching was excellent and their approach always well suited.
