Our Student Progression Team Launches kick off this week in local schools. The SPT programme places University of Warwick Mentors in schools with small groups of year 8 and 9 pupils. Through a variety of interactive and engaging group sessions, mentors build a rapport with the pupils and support them to aim high and work hard to achieve their future goals.

We hope the sessions go well, and look forward to the next 7 mentoring sessions!

Mariam talks about her role as an SPT mentor where she has led sessions once a week at Foxford School. She describes the activities that she leads and how this has impacted the young people she works with.
