Oldham Academy North

At Oldham Academy North, mentoring is central to the mission of raising aspirations and building resilience in one of the most deprived areas nationally.

Through a series of transformative programmes with Oppidan, students have engaged in motivational workshops, one-to-one mentoring, and goal-setting sessions that empower them to take ownership of their futures. From supporting GCSE choices to developing oracy and confidence, these initiatives have had a measurable impact - improving attendance, boosting engagement, and helping students articulate clear ambitions. Mentoring at TOAN is more than guidance; it is a catalyst for personal growth, resilience, and opportunity, ensuring every learner feels equipped to thrive academically and beyond.
