A school has completed a six-week peer mentoring pilot. Sixty Year 7 students were invited to meet trained Year 10 mentors at lunchtime. Thirty-six students attended four to six sessions; twenty-four attended three or fewer sessions.

Students completed the same questionnaire before and after the pilot.

Measure	Attended 4–6 sessions: before	Attended 4–6 sessions: after	Attended 0–3 sessions: before	Attended 0–3 sessions: after
Average confidence about settling into school, out of 5	2.7	4.0	2.8	3.1
Students who knew where to seek help	56%	86%	58%	63%
Students who felt that they belonged at school	61%	81%	63%	67%

The twenty-four students who attended three or fewer sessions gave one main reason for their limited attendance.

Main reason	Number of students
Sessions clashed with another club or support session	10
Forgot when a session was taking place	6
Found the mentoring room too noisy	5
Felt uncomfortable speaking to an older student	3

The twelve Year 10 mentors also suggested improvements. Each mentor could make more than one suggestion.

Suggested improvement	Number of mentors
Provide clearer activities for each meeting	8
Use a quieter room	7
Arrange regular check-ins with a member of staff	5
