I was at Augustines in billington and instead of setting up a teacher mentor system they had a pupil mentor where every first year or anyone who needed one had an older mentor normally in fith year, i was a mentor i was given a young boy i met with him like once a week for the first few weeks he seemed alright with new school therefore i left him but kept an eye on him when i saw him from across yard etc, and he knew me (what a privalidge
) so if he had any problems instead of having to tell a teacher he told me and i sorted it or i then told the teacher i confidence. like i said i we never had any problems, but others did and mentored them till the end of the year then if the kid still had problems they would be passed over to the next years mentor team as we all left.
To be honest there was not much bullying going on anyway. i never got bullyed!!! this was due to a really good school. There was obviously some bullying going on but it normally got stamped out or the bully got kicked out. In my opinion the best policy
