Each student participated in an interview with their tutor. They discussed their achievements so far and their plans and aspirations for the future and were encouraged to think about issues which may influence, or at least inform their options choices for Year 10. Students were asked to prepare their portfolios and CV’s and present these during the interview. It is hoped that these documents will serve as an excellent resource to celebrate their successes and life at St Christopher’s School.

They also used this time to celebrate their successes and achievements both inside and outside of school. The feedback has all been very positive, from both the students and the tutors. The students all found it very enjoyable and rewarding and have used this experience to help focus their minds for their up and coming GCSE option choices. The tutors also learnt a great deal about each and every one of their tutees regarding their future plans and about their vast array of talents.
