New cohort of Peer Mentors report for duty

Our new cohort of Year 13 Peer Mentors has successfully completed their training and are ready to begin their volunteering duties. We have 45 exceptionally enthusiastic students participating this year. In addition to this new group, we are very fortunate to have 20 Year 14 Peer Mentors continuing their roles from last year, creating a mentor network of 65 students.

To maximise their impact across the school, their responsibilities have been structured around four key pastoral and academic areas:

• Supporting designated Form Classes in lessons to act as positive role models and assist younger students

• Providing one-to-one peer support, checking in with a student on a weekly basis

• Helping to boost confidence and skills in literacy and numeracy

• Supporting the work of our SEN Hub to help foster an inclusive and supportive environment

We look forward to seeing how this fantastic group of students makes a positive contribution to our school community this year.
