In September 2013, a mixed age tutorial system was introduced at The Polesworth School. Each House has 13 tutor groups. Each tutor group has a tutor and a co-tutor. The tutor groups include students from all year groups (Years 7 – 13). Within the tutor groups the students are organised into ‘family’ groups of 5 or 6 students per family. Each family is made up of students from different year groups.
In September 2021, the mixed age tutorial system was taken out for a year group-based tutorial system due to [[COVID-19]] restrictions. Each House has eight tutor groups per year. Each tutor group has a tutor and a co-tutor. The tutor groups include students from separate year groups (Years 7 – 13). The Tutorial Groups contain students from singular years.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}}
