The Learning Mentor role is to help support children and families in overcoming their challenges and barriers to effective learning enabling children to engage and be ready to learn. The majority of our work falls within the area of social, behavioural and emotional aspects of learning and we actively promote, model and support all things in relation to emotional well being.
