Mosaic Mentoring in secondary schools 2009-2010 is in process. New students who have had the opportunity to take part in this year's programme have found the scheme beneficial so far and stated the following:

'I found it very beneficial for my education in many ways. It helps me make decisions about my future and methods I could use to realise my potential' Student in Year 11, Westminster Academy

Mosaic Stars
This project is the first Mosaic Youth Leadership programme where 30 students from across Mosaic's schools will be recognised for significant improvement made in school and clear leadership potential as identified by their teachers. The first cohort successfully took place in November, where over three days, the students took part in Common Purposes' YourTurn leadership programme. Look out for updates and hear from the students experience on the 'News' and 'Inspiration' pages on the website.
