Student Support
We are dedicated to ensuring every student feels supported, valued, and empowered to succeed. Our student support system plays a vital role in removing barriers to learning, nurturing emotional well-being, and helping students reach their full potential.
Learning Mentors
Our team of Learning Mentors is central to our pastoral care approach. They provide personalised support tailored to the needs of each student, working closely with them in various capacities to foster both academic and personal growth.
In-Lesson Support
Learning Mentors provide targeted support during lessons, ensuring students remain engaged and confident in their learning. They help students manage challenges, stay on task, and develop key skills, enabling them to succeed in the classroom environment.
Small Group Interventions
Recognising the value of peer support and collaboration, Learning Mentors lead small group sessions focused on social, emotional, and academic development. These sessions provide opportunities for students to build relationships, develop teamwork skills, and address specific areas of need in a supportive setting.
1-2-1 Sessions
For students requiring more individualised support, Learning Mentors offer 1-2-1 sessions tailored to address specific challenges and goals. Whether it's building confidence, improving behaviour, or developing strategies for managing emotions, these sessions provide a safe space for students to express themselves and receive personalised guidance.
Working with Parents
We recognise the importance of collaboration between school and home in supporting each student's success. Our Learning Mentors work closely with parents and carers to ensure a unified approach to meeting the needs of every child.
They maintain regular, sometimes daily communication with families, providing updates on student progress, sharing strategies for managing challenges, and celebrating achievements.
Mentors also offer guidance to parents on how to support their child's learning and well-being at home, creating a strong partnership that fosters consistency and trust.
Through meetings, phone calls, and workshops, Learning Mentors ensure that parents feel informed, supported, and actively involved in their child's educational journey. Together, we create a nurturing environment where students can thrive both academically and emotionally.
