Form Tutor

Description

In this programme, Miranda Krestovnikoff zips around the country to get advice for a secondary NQT Daniel Williams on the all-important role of the form tutor.

First she meets up with an experienced headteacher, Andy Buck, who is at the helm of a brand new PFI school. He suggests ways of using the pupils to help support the form tutor with admin. Then Miranda catches up with Paul Fairclough, the manager of Barnet Football Club and coach of the England under 21s side, for some advice on managing a team.

Finally Miranda speaks to someone who's experiencing the role of the form tutor first hand, Francis Gilbert, author of Yob Nation. He gives some advice on how to build good relationships with your form tutees. But what will NQT Daniel make of this advice?
