Tutor group

Tutor group

A tutor group is a term used in UK schools, broadly equivalent to the United States term "homeroom". The term is most frequently used in Secondary schools where students may be taught in a number of different groupings throughout the day. Tutor groups are usually the group with which a student is registered at the beginning or end of each school session.

In many schools, a tutor group is assigned a tutor who will remain with that group for several years - possibly throughout their time at that school. Such groupings may also be used for the teaching of some subjects in school, while others will be taught in ability groups, or in smaller mixed sets, for example practical technology subjects. Tutor groups are commonly named using a standard pattern, the groups year followed by the initials of the groups tutor, for example a year eleven form led by Christopher Phillip Bambury would be displayed as 11CPB.
