Setting Standards and Child Safety Issues
All tutors with 'OWLS' are qualified teachers with University degrees, specialising in the teaching of English. Tutors are interviewed and chosen for their sensitivity to pupils and commitment to encouraging children to excel.
Tutors are only accepted at 'OWLS' after the following proceedures:
- The tutor undergoes an enhanced disclosure Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. The enhanced disclosure not only checks for convictions but it also uncovers any allegations or complaints. We do not take on tutors with any convictions, allegations or complaints.
