Welcome!

I am Mrs Lowe, and I am the Learning Mentor at school. My role is to help children in non-academic areas. Mostly this is by supporting them with their feelings. Research has shown positive links between good emotional and physical health, and good academic achievement. 

The main difficulties that I support the pupils with are:

Grief through loss, separation and bereavement

low self esteem and confidence

support in managing anger

establishing and maintaining friendships

support in managing anxiety

support in difficult transitions in and around school and between home and school

This list is by no means complete. With all children being individuals, all have different difficulties, or even different ways of managing the same difficulties.
