ACHE Introduction to our Pupils

Pupils across the Senior School have been meeting their Sixth Form ACHE (Advice, Care, Health and Empathy) mentors in special assemblies held in Chapel this week.

42 of our Upper Sixth students qualified as ACHE mentors after completing a 16-week mental health training course during their Lower Sixth year. This now enables them to offer guidance about school, friendships and home life to younger pupils across the Senior School.

During the assemblies, the ACHE mentors introduced themselves to their respective year groups, explained what the role of an ACHE mentor entails and invited pupils to speak to them if needed – ACHE mentors are recognisable by their fluorescent lanyards. Pupils can also access them by heading over to the Sixth Form Centre or by emailing: [email protected]
