We are incredibly proud of the commitment shown by our Year 9 and Year 10 pupils who have taken on the role of peer mentors, as well as our Year 7 pupils who have engaged so positively as mentees during recent attendance mentoring sessions.
This programme reflects our whole-school commitment to developing successful, resilient and confident individuals. By working together across year groups, pupils have helped to create a supportive environment where younger pupils feel listened to, encouraged and valued, and where older pupils are able to demonstrate leadership, empathy and responsibility.
Our Year 9 and 10 mentors have approached their role with maturity and care, offering reassurance, guidance and positive role modelling. In turn, our Year 7 mentees have shown openness, courage and a willingness to engage, which has been central to the success of the sessions.
The peer mentoring programme plays an important role in strengthening a caring culture within school. It promotes a sense of belonging and collective responsibility, helping all pupils to feel part of a community where wellbeing and attendance are supported through understanding and encouragement.
We would like to thank all pupils involved for their enthusiasm and commitment. Their participation highlights the positive impact of pupil leadership and peer support in building a school community where everyone feels seen, supported and able to succeed.
