Paula has worked for a number of years here at St Anne’s, her job is to make sure all children are in school, on time, safe and happy. The Learning Mentor role is to help remove any barriers to learning that they may have, and thereby support their overall development.
I support children from Nursery to Year 6 – I do this through:
- 1-1 Individual support
- Small group sessions
- Friendship groupwork
- In the classroom
- Circle times
- Out of School Activities
- Working with parents/carers
- Networking with agencies
- Inviting outside initiatives/projects in
- Attendance Initiatives
- Working closely with all staff
Possible reasons why children may work with Pastoral Care;
- They are underachieving
- They are experiencing bereavement and loss
- Have low self esteem/confidence
- Experiencing behaviour difficulties
- Are bullying or being bullied
- Having a family crisis
- Are new to our school
- Transition through key stages
- Are absent from school
- Are persistently late
- Need a little TLC and would benefit from Learning Mentor input
I am available at the beginning and end of the day for parents/carers and children to approach me for any information sharing, advice or general updates.
Parents/carers can also contact me at the school.
