SHINE values and form group information

At Tute, we want every student to feel supported, seen, and inspired. That’s why we’ve built our approach around five core values, known as SHINE. These values guide everything we do, from how we teach and communicate, to how we help students grow both academically and personally.

Here’s what SHINE means for your child:

S

Supportive

Your child will be supported at every stage of their learning journey, emotionally, academically, and socially.

H

Honest

We promote open, respectful communication, and encourage your child to be honest, reflective, and true to themselves.

I

Inclusive

Tute is a place where every student is welcomed, valued, and accepted for who they are.

N

Nurturing

We create safe, positive environments where your child can grow in confidence and resilience.

E

Engaged

We help your child actively engage in building the skills and belief they need to thrive, in learning and in life.

Tutor groups: A space to shine

To help your child feel part of a community, they’ll join a small tutor group, where students connect, reflect, and take part in activities that build confidence and belonging. Each group is named after a real star in our galaxy, reminding students that, just like stars, each of them has the potential to shine.

Within their group, your child may:

  • Help design a group logo or motto
  • Take part in SHINE-focused discussions and projects
  • Reflect on how they can live the SHINE values each day

These small but meaningful activities help build a sense of purpose and identity and remind students that they’re not just learning with others but growing alongside them.

We asked some of our students what they thought about Tutor time at Tute and this is what they said:

100% of our students agree that Tutor time makes them feel more connected to others.

100% of our students agree that Tutor time makes them feel more confident.

 “It allows you to raise your concerns and overall, a good start to your day.”

SHINE isn’t just a motto, it’s a daily part of life at Tute, and your child will be encouraged to live these values in and out of the classroom.
