Unlocking Potential: Empowering Students Through Mentorship

At The School of Military (TSOM), we understand the challenges educators face when working with disengaged students and persistent absentees. That's why our outreach mentoring teams in the North West have been achieving remarkable success in rekindling the spark of learning and personal growth in these young minds.

Proven Results:
In the Spring term of 2021, our mentoring programs yielded an outstanding attendance rate of 96%. We're proud to say that TSOM has been instrumental in increasing student attendance and engagement, transforming the educational landscape in the North West.

Holistic Approach:
Our unique mentoring framework focuses on a variety of essential life skills, including future planning, social skills, anger and behavior management strategies, career guidance, and personal budgeting. We go beyond traditional academics to equip students with practical skills needed for life's journey, ensuring they can not only excel in their education but also navigate the challenges of the real world.

Our Core Values:
At TSOM, our core values draw inspiration from the military ethos. We instill self-respect, self-discipline, critical thinking, integrity, leadership, effective communication, and respect for others in every student we mentor. Our belief is simple: every child deserves a chance to become a valued member of society, equipped with the skillset to shine.

Comprehensive Programs:
Our sessions run from Monday to Friday, fostering individual growth through one-on-one mentorship initially and progressing to group sessions to enhance communication and social skills. Each session is a unique learning experience, as we change venues to facilitate diverse skill development. We cover everything from bushcraft, cooking, and navigation to STEM subjects, gym skills, and leadership training. Educational outings to museums and involving students in session planning create a dynamic learning environment.

Hands-On Learning:
Our sessions are designed to present students with tasks and scenarios that challenge them to apply their newfound skills in a hands-on approach. We ensure you are kept informed with daily session reports and term summaries that provide valuable insights into student progress, including attendance and statistical information.

Experienced Team:
Our dedicated staff members have military backgrounds and have honed their mentoring skills, ensuring that every child is cared for in a nurturing and engaging environment. We tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each individual student.

Join us in empowering your students to become the best versions of themselves. At TSOM, we're not just mentors; we're partners in shaping the future. Together, we can help your students unlock their full potential and succeed both in the classroom and in life."

TSOM, a mentoring and enrichment group for young people. Our mission is to help students develop crucial skills that will assist them with their daily life as well as their future.

Our company ethos is based loosely on military values, so we hope to encourage self-respect, self-discipline, critical thinking, integrity, leadership, communication, and respect for others. We truly believe that every child deserves the chance to become a functioning member of society who has the skillset to shine.

We run daily sessions from Monday to Friday at 08:45 AM to 14:30 PM, however the number of sessions per week may vary. Each student will initially work with a member of staff on a 1 to 1 basis in order to provide a safe environment for growth and development. However, we do introduce our students to group sessions which helps communication and socials skills. 

Every session teaches a unique skill, and it is in this way that we like to change the venue to facilitate learning. We teach bushcraft skills, cooking skills, navigation skills, command tasks, STEM subjects, gym skills, leaderships skills and much more. We also visit a multitude of educational sites like museums, and we encourage students to be part of the session planning process. 

The aim of these sessions it to create tasks and scenarios which children can solve utilising their new skills in a hands-on approach. Furthermore, we also provide a daily report which gives details on the outcomes of the session for each individual. We then summarise the term in a detailed report which provides statistical information like attendance as well as indicating a student’s progress. 

All our staff members have spent time in the military and have developed sufficient mentoring skills. This ensures that the children are always looked after in a caring, nurturing, and engaging environment. We always make sure that our approach is catered towards the needs of the individual.
