July 2026

Celebrating progress, supporting wellbeing, and looking ahead with confidence.

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we reach the end of another academic year, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on everything we’ve shared together and say a huge thank you to all of our families for your continued support throughout the year.

Whether you’ve attended a Virtual Coffee Morning, read one of our blogs, reached out for support, or simply followed your child’s learning journey alongside us, we’ve loved being part of your family’s year.

Summer safety and wellbeing

As we head into the summer holidays, we’ve shared a number of resources to help keep young people safe, healthy and supported over the break.

This half term we’ve published:

💧 Parent/Carer safety alert: Staying safe around open water – practical advice to help families enjoy the warmer weather safely.

🌱 Supporting student wellbeing through self-care and daily routines – simple ways to maintain wellbeing and routine during the holidays.

📱 New UK social media laws: What parents and carers need to know – an overview of the latest changes and what they mean for families.

💻 Staying safe this summer: A guide to digital safety – tips for managing screen time, online gaming, social media and staying safe online over the summer break.

We hope these resources continue to support you throughout the summer holidays.

They’re just a snapshot of everything we’ve shared over the past academic year. From wellbeing and online safety to practical parenting advice and safeguarding updates, our Parent & Carer Hub is packed with resources designed to support you whenever you need them.

Even while school is out, you can browse all of our blogs and updates on the Parent Hub Latest Updates page. Dip in whenever it suits you, there’s always something new to discover or revisit. 💚

June Virtual Coffee Morning

Our final Virtual Coffee Morning of the academic year focused on Friendships, Boundaries and Belonging.

As always, it was wonderful to welcome parents and carers together for an informal conversation, sharing experiences and practical ideas for supporting young people.

Throughout this academic year, our Virtual Coffee Mornings have covered a wide range of topics, from supporting emotional wellbeing and online safety to neurodiversity, exam stress and building positive relationships. If you missed any of the sessions or would like to revisit them; you can find catch-up summaries and resources from each coffee morning on our Parent Hub Event Calendar.

Good news… our virtual coffee mornings will be returning next academic year!

We’re already looking forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces when they resume in September.

Parent Feedback

One of the highlights of this year has been seeing our parent community continue to grow. Hearing how the Parent Carer Hub and our Virtual Coffee Mornings have supported families means so much to us.

“The Virtual Coffee Mornings were invaluable during our time with Tute, and I was delighted to join several sessions throughout the year.

They were always relaxed, informal and welcoming, providing a safe space to discuss concerns, share ideas, or simply listen to other parents’ experiences. I came away from each session feeling more positive, whether that was because I had been able to share something that might help another family, or because I had learned something that would support our child on their learning journey.

The sessions reminded me that you’re not alone, and that sometimes hearing from other parents who understand can make all the difference.

I would like to thank Natalie at Tute for facilitating these coffee mornings with such warmth and understanding. I would highly recommend any parent or carer to join next year. They’re a fantastic source of support, reassurance and practical advice.”

Receiving feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do. Knowing that our Parent Carer Hub and virtual coffee mornings have helped families feel supported, informed and less alone has been one of the highlights of this academic year. Thank you to every parent and carer who has joined us along the way. 💚

A message to our Year 11 students

To all of our Year 11 students…

Congratulations on reaching the end of an important chapter.

Whatever comes next, whether that’s staying with us, college, sixth form, an apprenticeship, employment or something completely different we hope you take pride in everything you’ve achieved.

Remember that success isn’t measured by one set of results, but by the perseverance you’ve shown to get here.

We wish each and every one of you the very best for the future. Good luck; you’ve got this!
