Year 12 students at Bloxwich Academy are making a big impact by mentoring primary school children. This initiative fosters academic support and personal growth for both groups. Y12 pupils have been visiting the primary site during lunch times, offering games and conversations for our primary pupils.

This creates a supportive environment and promotes positive relationships within the school community. For Year 12 students, the experience builds leadership skills and empathy, while younger students benefit from academic assistance and inspiration. Pupils have been enjoying a range of activities such as board games, sports games, arts and crafts.

“I’ve loved visiting the primary to work with the younger pupils, it’s made a huge difference to my confidence, but I’ve also really enjoyed seeing the younger pupils enjoy”

H Spellman – Y12.

This collaboration shows the importance of peer-to-peer learning. It creates a culture of inclusivity and mutual respect, shaping future leaders. We commend our Year 12 for their inspired efforts to make a difference.

We cannot wait to see what the future holds for our Primary Ambassadors.
