MENTOR GROUP TEACHERS
The first link in the guidance network is the Mentor Teacher. All students are assigned to a mentor class and the teacher is their first point of reference. The mentor group teacher has a special responsibility for the welfare and progress of the class. Routine notes about absence, health matters, uniform, learning etc should be addressed to the mentor group teacher. Mentor group teachers have a wealth of knowledge about the progress of students in their class.
