First Tutor Time Reflection and Goals
Your first three tutor sessions planned.
Start the new school year with three warm, thoughtful and genuinely usable tutor-time sessions designed to help students settle in, reflect, set realistic goals and create a positive form culture together.
No awkward icebreakers. No “tell us an interesting fact about yourself”. No Sunday-night planning.
Just open the PowerPoint, print the student pages and you’re ready to go.
3 sessions or an express 1 session pack all with powerpoints
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
SESSION 1: HELLO, NEW YEAR
A gentle fresh-start session focused on belonging and how students want the year – and their form – to feel.
Students explore:
• What they want more and less of this year
• What makes a form feel safe, calm and enjoyable
• How they can contribute to that environment
SESSION 2: FUTURE ME
A positive reflection and goal-setting session without the pressure of unrealistic resolutions.
Students:
• Recognise something they are already proud of
• Set academic, personal and “just for me” goals
• Turn one goal into a tiny achievable first step
• Write a short note to their future self
SESSION 3: OUR YEAR TOGETHER
A collaborative session for establishing your form culture.
Students consider:
• What makes a brilliant tutor group
• What they personally bring to the group
• How they can help others feel they belong
• The promises they want their form to make
Finish by creating an “Our Form Promise” that can be displayed in your tutor room.
