FAQs for schools

  • Having worked with 100+ schools in the UK and abroad, schools greatly value our experience in essential skills and the highly personalised learning our mentors deliver.

  • In designing our content, we’ve worked closely with the Oxford Character Project and the Skills Builder Partnership. You can learn more about our framework and research here.

  • We have developed our own, tailored resources based on almost a decade of experience in mentoring students one-to-one and in groups. Driven by our early adopters, our content responds to schools’ needs and the desire to make our programmes relevant and engaging.

  • Oppidan is regularly asked to support with inset days and teacher CPD. As experts in character, we’re committed to ensuring that the staff room understands and supports our involvement. We’ll provide additional resources and our character handbook to further lighten the load for teachers.

  • Every Oppidan mentor has an enhanced DBS check and has been trained in safeguarding. We share our policies with a school as we begin our partnership and always support the specific safeguarding needs and regulations in each setting.
