The project aimed to narrow the achievement gap for Black Caribbean students by delivering extra support through mentoring. Facilitated, 1-1 mentor meetings were undertaken between 39 ‘at risk’ Black Caribbean students and eight mentors (2 of whom were University students). The target was to ensure retention of 90% of these students by the end of the project. Mentor training was provided for six Uxbridge College staff and two University students and resources were created including a training pack with handy tips and recording sheets. Buddy training was also delivered to 10 of the ‘at risk’ group so that they could act as peer mentors and mentoring meetings were (on average each Mentor held 6 meetings with their mentees). A mentoring report was prepared and web link on the project created on the College website.
