Meet Our Learning Mentors

Our Learning Mentor Inclusion Team is essential to the education we offer at Gledhow Primary School. They are non-classroom staff who assist students with social, emotional, and mental health needs. Mr. Wood, Mrs. Burrough, and Mrs. Pitter are all dedicated professionals who help students access their education with care and professionalism.

Social and Emotional Development Service

At Gledhow Primary School, we encourage every child to strive for their best in all aspects of their learning, valuing independence as much as academic achievement. However, school can be a challenging place for some children, affecting their emotional expression, relationships, and ability to learn. Our inclusion team offers an in-house service to support these children, following a referral from their teacher, and providing a home-like, calm learning space. Using play and age-appropriate tools, the team offers 1:1 and group sessions to help children develop strategies for a positive learning experience, with no extra cost. Parents can choose to opt-out and inform their child's teacher.
