Social Inclusion Department is an integral element of the pastoral system at Featherstone High School. The team includes five Learning Mentors, each attached to a Year Group.

There is also a Lead Learning Mentor and the department is overseen by the Assistant Head for Access and Inclusion.

Learning Mentors work with pupils on a one-to-one and group basis to remove barriers to their learning.

These barriers may include:

• Low confidence/self-esteem
• Lack of motivation
• Bullying
• Anger management
• Peer pressure
• Underachievement
• Low attendance and family issues

Our primary aim is to enable all pupils to realise and achieve their potential.
