Our Provision: Learning Mentor (Karen Drew)

Learning Mentors offer support and guidance to children who are struggling with social, emotional and behavioural challenges that impact on their ability to learn and make the most of school life. These can include mental health challenges, illness, bereavement and grief, divorce and separation, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. For the child they are an advocate for them, someone supportive and non-judgmental to talk to, share successes or disappointments with and who can help practically manage difficulties or worries. For the parent or carer, they can be the link between school and home.

I have been the Learning Mentor at The Windmills Junior School for the past 15 years. I work with children on a one-to- one basis, outside the classroom and am available either during times of crisis or as part of a longer term programme. I implement a tailored and flexible approach that takes into consideration the full circumstances of the child and their individual needs.

If you think your child could benefit from the guidance of a Learning Mentor, or if you have any questions about the support I can provide please let me know.
