Jake in year 10 kindly worked with Eric, year 8, on his maths work. Working in my office for 45 minutes they successfully worked through mental subtraction and addon-agons. Jake set a superb example, supporting Eric with his mathematical skills and advancing his own understanding of the topic.

There are many benefits to peer mentoring including the fostering of self-awareness, cultivating leadership skills and embracing our growth mindset. It was fantastic to see two students in different year groups building a relationship and supporting each other in their learning.
