Mentor System

This system seeks to create a supportive environment in which students feel happy and secure.  We believe that a student is more likely to succeed if they learn with this philosophy in mind.  Students are divided into small groups and each group is allocated a teacher as their Mentor. Each group meets with their mentor on a daily basis.

Daily meetings between students and mentors create a close bond, providing students with someone in a position of authority who they can trust and turn to for advice.  The mentor is responsible for monitoring the academic progress and individual welfare of each student.

A carefully planned programme of personal, social and moral education, with a focus on university application and career options in the upper years, is the basis of daily mentor sessions.  Activities are planned on a weekly basis for all classes within a year group, focusing on the same issues to ensure uniformity.

Parents are encouraged to contact their son/daughter’s mentor regarding any concerns either academic or personal, should the need arise.  Mentors can be contacted during their Office Hours.
