  Manford Primary School

  Oct 2020 - Jan 2024

  Learning Mentor

  I work in a Primary School as a learning mentor. In my role I support children, from reception to year six, with their mental health. I was given my own office that I turned into the 'Rainbow Room' a safe space for all children to be who they are and share their inner thoughts and feelings. I am always outside on the playground getting to know the children across the school. All children know me as the smiley teacher who will always play with them. Creating a bond so playful with children across the school, means I can identify children who may need extra therapeutic and mental health support. In my role I have undertaken lots of training which you can find on my profile. I offer 1:1 therapeutic play sessions, 1:1 Drawing and Talking sessions, LEGO Therapy, group emotional literacy sessions and much more. I have turned my role into something I hope is so integral within the school. I have developed a whole school approach to supporting children with their mental health. I lead parent coffee mornings, whole Key Stage Assemblies, year group workshops and much more to raise awareness of everyone’s mental health and how to support ourselves. I have taken on a key role in safeguarding children. Within my time I have taken on many disclosures and supported the children and their families through the social care process. I have a genuine passion for helping young people and their families non-judgementally. Show less
