Our Pastoral Care Structure

🛡️

Class Tutors

Each year group is assigned a dedicated tutor whose primary focus is pastoral care. They maintain close contact with their classes to ensure students are settling in comfortably and that the class works well together. Students are always encouraged to approach their tutor if they need advice, guidance, or support.

Year Heads

Every year group is overseen by two dedicated Year Heads. Working in partnership with the Class Tutors, our Year Heads manage overall discipline and year-group coordination, striving to make every student's experience at Davitt College both productive and happy.
