The Inkwell Mentoring Programme
The Inkwell Mentoring Programme offers more than a sticking plaster approach to supporting students who are struggling in school. You’ll know the kind of student who thrives within this programme. They’re the quieter ones. The ones who might raise a few concerns from time-to-time. But generally, are assumed to be ok. Until one day they’re not – and they crumble under the pressures of being at school, dealing with friendships and maybe exam stress.
The kind of mentoring I offer ensures that students are supported in a spacious, consistent way to help build their confidence and bolster support systems so that they are better equipped to take a full part in school life.
Your programme really is an absolute safe haven for those students. I don’t think I can thank you enough for the time and effort you put into them.
Pastoral leader
Inkwell Mentoring sessions are 1:1, supportive and calm. I work through a five step programme taking students from being stressed and worried to resilient and expansive.
Peer Mentoring
One of our most successful projects of recent years has been around peer mentoring. This is where I have trained students I have mentored to become mentors themselves. The benefits for everyone involved are huge! It;s also the kind of initiative which has ripple effects throughout a school and local community – and the pride taken by all the students involved is immense.
I offer training on peer mentoring for students and adults alike. Please do get in touch for further details.
There is also a free PDF available which lists some pointers and ideas for starting a peer mentoring project. Please sign up below and the information will be sent to you:
