No two days are alike for a Health Mentor. They spend their time running Breakfast Clubs, mentoring, coordinating lunchtime play, classroom coaching, organising PE classes, and developing rapport with pupils in order to maximise their potential. The way that Health Mentors are used will vary from school to school, depending on the priorities of each headteacher and the needs of their pupils. This is an overview of how Health Mentors were deployed in this instance:
2h10m Classroom Coaching (28%)
1h20m Lunchtime Playground Animation (18%)

“Children and young people are our nation’s most precious resource. We need healthy, educated, creative and resilient children now to be productive adults.
Outcomes Achieved
Focused support has enabled targeted pupils in Years 4 and 5 to make progress in literacy and numeracy. Structured play at lunchtime has increased with pupils feeling safe and happy, resulting in a reduction in the number of negative behaviour incidents. 45% of girls in Years 5 and 6 attended at least one after school club during the year.
Confronting the barriers between children’s health and education is key, and I admire and support the innovative approach being taken by Evolve to do this. Children and young people need to be healthy in mind and body to learn. Evolve is developing a new and exciting way to break down the barriers between children’s health and education.”
Testimonials “When I am not ready to learn, Mr Dunne speaks to me and helps to calm me down.” Kyle, 3H, Benson Community School
“All of the Health Mentors have been a fantastic support network for our children.”

About Evolve
Next year To enhance our impact next year, the Health Mentors will have weekly meetings to monitor and track all progress made. Also, having greater structure in their timetables will allow Health Mentors to focus more on identified pupils and agreed objectives. Another key area of focus is to increase the opportunities and quantity of inter school fixtures, tournaments and matches participated in.
We would like to reintroduce the Mathletics programme to support identified pupils with numeracy. Also, taking a more formal role in the delivery of Physical Education lessons could enhance the impact of the team.
Evolve is a social impact company that develops grassroots, upstream programmes to provide additional care, emotional support and engagement to the pupils that need it most.
Two additional Health Mentors are to be deployed from January 2016 which will increase Project HE:RO support to 30 days per week.
We use versatile, specialised staff called Health Mentors to help support pupils’ learning in schools across the country. Health Mentors use one to one
mentoring and take the time to develop meaningful relationships with individual pupils in order to inspire and engage children. Evolve also offer: XLR8, a transition programme during school holidays and School Vitality Initiative, a one-day creative event that engages children and upskills staff.
About Project HE:RO Project HE:RO is a programme designed by Evolve to address the key issues that primary school pupils, particularly in inner city schools, face. HE:RO supports pupils, teachers, parents and school staff by providing
10
highly trained Health Mentors that address physical, social and emotional wellbeing issues to get pupils in the right frame of mind for learning.
