Peer Mentors are older students – usually the year above you.

They have been specially chosen and have received training to help them to offer help and support, and to give guidance to boys in lower years.

Peer Mentors are also Role Models for younger boys.

All our Peer Mentors are approachable, friendly and happy to help.

What can Peer Mentors help with?

Peer Mentors can help you with lots of things in school, such as:

• Finding your way around the school.
• Talking through concerns about homework.
• Advising you where to go or who to speak to if you have a problem.
• Introducing you to lunch time clubs that you can attend.
• Sharing useful information about school.

How to recognise a Peer Mentor?

Birkdale has 12 Peer Mentors, the names and photos of each of the Peer Mentors are displayed on the wall as you enter the Canteen, next to Mrs Nightingale’s office (our Learning Mentor).

Each of our Peer Mentors have a Peer Mentor badge on their blazer and they also wear a slightly different tie. Our Prefects, in Year 11, also wear a different tie and you can always ask them for help and advice too.
