Personal Mentors

When you enrol at Milverton Online School, you’ll be paired with a personal mentor who’ll provide the advice and support you need to develop your skills and reach your goals.

Pastoral excellence


Creating a supportive and compassionate environment is our absolute priority

We're proud of our innovative mentorship programme. It's not simply a weekly check in but is a focused, individualised programme which not only looks after our students’ current academic and pastoral progress, but also looks forward with a clear, goal oriented futures plan.

Each student is partnered with a personal mentor who meets with them every week to provide the advice, support and skills they need to reach their goals.

As well as academic excellence, successful students need to build:

• A range of co-curricular activities and experiences

• Academic awards and achievements

• Co-curricular subject specific interests

• Leadership skills and responsibility

• Interpersonal skills

This can be achieved by providing students with:

• A mentor figure

• A clear goal-oriented futures plan

• A sense of community and motivation

Regular weekly meetings

As well as ensuring the student’s programme is running smoothly, your child’s mentor meets weekly with them to check in, keep them on track and ensure that their goals and deadlines are being met.

This provides the opportunity for regular assessment and adjustment of goals where needed.

These regular check ins also serve to ensure that your child is flourishing in all areas. Academic and pastoral interventions can be put in place to provide additional support if needed.
