ExperiMENTOR - New Initiatives from Clusters

Mentoring teams at Leicester's secondary schools are continually working to improve and broaden their programmes.

The Experimentor section highlights some of the initiatives and innovations being developed across the City Network, or by individual schools.

Transition is about mentors helping pupils in their final year of Primary School to settle in during their first year of Secondary School. Positive partnerships are proving that extra help and guidance can make all the difference

Many schools are developing Peer Mentoring schemes. These involve training students to provide specific and supervised support to other young people.

Mentoring is also geared towards assisting students with future study, training and employment opportunities.

The Post 16/18 section reveals more about this aspect of the programme.
