Learning Mentors
Our Learning Mentor is Ms Ahmed.
At Bordesley Green Primary School we committed to supporting our children’s mental health and wellbeing by removing barriers to learning. We make every effort to provide our children with the confidence and skills to be enthusiastic learners and effective members of the community.
If you feel that you or your child is struggling to cope with changes such as bereavement, anxiety, transition, social skills, attendance, behaviour, emotional and wellbeing issues, then please contact Ms Ahmed. You can email or call the school office to speak to us.
Our Aims as Learning Mentors Are:
- To motivate pupils to recognise and reflect upon our core school values which are: Resilience, Empathy, Self-Control, Perseverance, Equality, Courage, Team work. (Respect).
- To remove barriers to learning for pupils
- To raise attainment
- Track attendance in line with their academic progress with a view to seeing sustained improvement.
- To communicate effectively with pupils 1-1 or in a group
- To support and develop self-esteem, emotional health and the well-being of all our pupils.
- To support and empower families who are experiencing challenges.
- To maintain an atmosphere in which children feel secure, are encouraged in their learning, growth and social development and know that they are valued within a healthy and safe environment.
- To enhance parental awareness of how children, learn and the importance of education and life skills.
How We Can Help:
We use a variety of approaches, which can be tailored to individual needs. These include:
- One to one or group mentoring programmes to discuss problems and look at solutions
- Provide parent activities in school for parents and children together
- Create actions plans enabling children to remove barriers to learning
- Provide Out of Hours Learning provision and extra-curricular activities
- Devise strategies of support for attendance and punctuality
- Meeting with parents and conducting home visits
We work alongside teachers and parent/carers to ensure that all children are able to get the best out of their time at Bordesley Green Primary School.
Emotional and mental wellbeing defines how we feel. You are not alone – talk to someone you trust. Sharing a problem is often the first step to recovery.
