by Duncan McKinlay

For a number of years, Nayland College has debated the relative merits of horizontal and vertical tutor classes.

This means that year 9 and year 10 will have horizontal tutor classes (students of the same year group) and the senior school will have vertical tutor classes (years 11, 12 and 13 in each tutor group).
