Rooted in the tradition of Oxford and Cambridge, our Mentoring System offers one-to-one guidance that is truly personalised. With expert support each week, students grow in confidence, character and clarity, prepared for every step of their journey.
One student, one Mentor.
Each student has its own dedicated Mentor, a teacher who brings not only outstanding academic expertise, but also specialised training in mentoring and coaching. These Mentors are equipped to support students across their academic, personal and career journeys, providing tailored guidance at every step. Our approach ensures that each student feels truly known, supported and challenged to become their best self.
Inspired by the UK’s finest universities.
Our Mentoring System draws directly from the tradition of the UK’s top institutions, particularly the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. These universities have long demonstrated the power of individual mentorship in nurturing intellectual independence and personal growth. At Virtus College, we bring that ethos into the Sixth Form experience, creating a dynamic, responsive structure that supports each pupil holistically. This model has a proven track record of helping students flourish academically while building character, resilience and ambition. For us, mentoring is not an add-on – it is at the heart of our commitment to truly personalised education.
How does Mentoring at Virtus College work?
At the start of Year 12, each student is paired with a Mentor based on their individual Vocational Profile, which takes into account their strengths, areas for growth and personality traits. Students meet their Mentor in weekly one-to-one sessions, designed to monitor progress, set targets and offer personalised support. Additional sessions can be scheduled at the request of either student or Mentor.
Mentors work closely with subject teachers and school departments to offer wrap-around care that adapts to each student’s evolving needs – whether academic, emotional or professional. This ongoing collaboration ensures every student remains on track, confident in their goals and prepared for the path ahead.
