The provision supports secondary-aged pupils who may have experienced challenges within mainstream education, helping them overcome barriers to learning, develop confidence and reconnect with education.

As a Pastoral Behaviour Mentor, you'll play an important role in helping pupils build positive relationships, develop emotional regulation and rediscover their confidence in themselves and their ability to learn.

The aim is to create an environment where pupils feel safe, understood and supported, giving them the confidence to learn, participate and make progress.

Why This Role?

For some young people, the right adult can completely change their experience of education. xjnqpsq
