Younger students are supported by their older peers, who provide advice and guidance on academy matters using their National experience to help, especially with transition into year 7.

The academy is organised into year group tutor groups, each with a designated Head of Year and Assistant Head of Year.

Tutor groups meet once a day with their personal tutor. Activities include daily collective worship, pastoral enhancement sessions and weekly notices. All students contribute to the smooth running of the tutor group and all individuals have the opportunity to take on a responsibility to assist their personal development. This includes roles such as leading the weekly notices, leading thought for the day or representing the tutor group at year group council meetings.
