SEND Mentors - Support for Your Learning and Wellbeing

At Weston College, we know that everyone learns differently and may need extra support at times.

Our Specialist SEND team can provide mentoring and are here to help students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) feel confident, supported, and ready to achieve their goals.

 

What is a mentor?

Mentors provide pastoral and holistic support to learners to help you with both your learning and your wellbeing. They can work with you to:

  • Build strategies to support your learning
  • Offer encouragement and motivation
  • Give guidance with everyday challenges at college
  • Help you plan and organise your studies
  • Be someone you can talk to about worries that may affect your learning
     

How can a SEND Mentor help me? 

Your SEND Mentor can work with you one-to-one or in small groups. They will get to know you and support you in the way that works best for you.

This might include:

  • Developing your confidence and independence
  • Helping you manage your time and meet deadlines
  • Supporting you with problem-solving and decision-making
  • Encouraging you when things feel difficult
  • Signposting you to other support services if you need them

One Message, Different Voices

Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
