Pupil Mentoring
The school's Pupil Mentoring initiative has been designed in-house and sits alongside the curriculum to raise the profile of and support children's well-being and mental health. The school believes that children's mental health should be prioritised alongside their academic achievements. Year 6 pupils are trained as Peer Tutors and, each term, work closely with younger children in school..
Children are asked to respond to a series of statements linked to each of the following key questions in bold below. Their response to each statement – yes, no or sometimes – is purely their own view at that moment in time. The role of the Peer Tutors is to carefully oversee this self-assessment, rephrasing statements or clarifying with examples so that it is understood and accessible to all children.
