Mentoring
‘Many successful adults have been influenced and
inspired by working with a mentor, able to offer wisdom
and expertise. Mentors can provide a valuable
exchange of ideas, coaching to levels of excellence,
support and encouragement to persevere. The
mentoring relationship need not only be with an adult
mentor, older pupils can mentor younger pupils very
effectively.’(Curriculum of Opportunity 2003)
