Could You be a Mentor? SATRO Needs Your Skills and Experience!

I would like to take the opportunity to highlight the work of SATRO, in particular their work of mentoring children who are not reaching their full potential or need help to reach their potential. At Thomas Knyvett College in Ashford. Further funding has been made available to continue SATRO’s mentoring schemes at the College for another two years, which will give them the chance to get the programme properly established in a school where there are students who will really benefit from this type of intervention. The following statement from the school tells of the impact this programme has:  “The students at TKC need a positive role model, who can help to provide guidance and kindness. Through the mentoring our students have received over the past year, we have seen a vast improvement in their behaviour, engagement, and attitude towards learning. The students who need this support most are those who are disadvantaged. They may be Pupil Premium, Free School Meals, have SEN or are Looked After. The support is absolutely essential to their success and long-term achievements. When students have someone to look up to, they realise how valued they are, and that they really can be successful.”

SATRO are now recruiting people who might be interested in mentoring, with a commitment of just an hour every couple of weeks, (although in our experience mentors want to carry on beyond that).  Mo, who runs the programme would be delighted to speak to anyone who is interested, or has questions (mo.forgan@satro.org.uk)
