Interventions are used across many schools to promote achievement at key points in the student’s learning journey. These interventions take many forms, including one-to-one tuition, small group work, online tutoring programmes or revision and extended school programmes.
Mentoring is one type of intervention that is used to support individual students to maximise their potential. Mentoring can take many forms and might involve middle or senior leadership team members, business professionals or undergraduates mentoring a student or groups of students. There may also be a dedicated learning mentor or pastoral mentor team in the school.
Mentoring might be defined as a “process in which one person (mentor) is responsible for overseeing the career and development of another person (protégé) outside the normal manager-subordinate relationship” (Everyone Needs a Mentor: Fostering talent in your organisation, David Clutterbuck, 2004).
