| Summary: | Andrew was identified as a candidate for a new peer mentoring scheme at the beginning of Year 8. He had notched up 50 negative behaviour points in subjects including maths and dance for causing persistent disruption in class. Disciplinary letters were arriving home, and his parents were at a loss to know what to do. The project was set up to support boys like Andrew who were finding it hard to access learning, and were the main perpetrators of low level disruption. Deputy Head Andy Knowles, who runs the scheme at Heritage College, organized a series of matching exercises, which resulted in Andrew being paired with Year 11 mentor, Gareth. The pair worked together to set targets for Andrew, and to identify strategies that would help him stay focused in lessons. His progress was monitored regularly using the behaviour tracking system. The results showed that Andrew was the most improved mentee on the scheme. This is the story of Andrew's personal journey - in his own words. |
