Dulwich College
Programme
Partners since 2022, Year 12 students have participated in our Peer Mentor Training aimed at developing school community and cohesion. Students applied to be part of the programme, and then benefited from two workshop days with a consistent team of Oppidan mentors, focused on mentoring approaches, case studies, safeguarding and practical tips. Mentoring led by those Year 12 students is now live and underway with their Year 9 mentees.
Outcomes
Pupils in both Year 9 & Year 12 cohorts have completed preliminary surveys. Reports indicated that Year 12 pupils were excited to take on whole school responsibility and provide valuable support they would have valued when they were starting senior school. Year 12 mentors have commenced sessions with their Year 9 mentees which will continue bi-weekly for the next two terms.
