Student Support and Pastoral Care

For many students, the transition from GCSE’s to A Levels can be challenging. So Crypt is committed to offering support to do as much as possible to ensure the academic and personal well-being of every individual student.

Sixth Form Team

The Director of Post 16 Education, Ms Susan Glock will oversee your progress in the Sixth Form and she is ably supported by an innovative, specialist team. Our Assistant Heads of Sixth Form, Miss Sarah Parkin and Mr Matthew Bevan, are Heads of Year 12 and 13 respectively.

Mrs Eileen Price and Mrs Hannah Attwood, who are Pastoral Support Workers/Administrators for years 12 and 13, respectively, support their work. Mrs Deborah Jordan, the school librarian and sixth-form supervised study tutor, is also part of the team.

Tutor time

All students are assigned to a Tutor Group (and a House),  led by a Form Tutor who they will meet each morning, giving them the opportunity to discuss both academic and pastoral matters. Tutors should be the first point of contact for students and families should personal matters affect any student’s learning. We have a thorough programme of tutor time activities which include assemblies, wellbeing Wednesday sessions, career support, quizzes and public speaking opportunities.

Through our tutor team, HOY, Pastoral support worker and school counsellor, you will be cared for in our supportive and welcoming environment. see link

Financial Support

The 16 to 19 Bursary Fund is money provided by the government for schools to support disadvantaged students to overcome financial barriers to participation in education.

A bursary is money that you, or Crypt on your behalf, can use to pay for things like trips, books, equipment, transport, lunch and Sixth Form uniform. For more information on eligibility and how we can support your application, please see the Bursary application form and Bursary Policy.
