Old Peterite Mentoring Pilot This year, the Careers and Alumni departments ran the pilot of an Old Peterite mentoring scheme. The purpose of the scheme is for our pupils to gain an insight into the career of one of our Old Peterite volunteers, and gain invaluable information, knowledge and skills to help them plan and prepare for their future beyond school. We feel it is hugely important that our pupils are given the opportunity to talk with professionals in industry, and they can begin to understand that everyone’s career journey is unique and important. The pilot scheme consisted of a small group of pupils who met each week on Zoom with their mentor to discuss a variety of career-related topics. The pilot was a huge success, and the mentoring programme will now benefit all of our Lower Sixth pupils during their time with us.
