We're delighted to announce that, for the first time, our mentoring programme has been extended to allow pupils in the Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth to benefit. We are now inviting all of you to help raise up the next generation of bold alumnae.
Between you, our wonderful alumnae network, you represent an incredible range of industries, skills, technical ability, career know-how, entrepreneurial flair, business expertise and university knowledge. Your shared experience of LEH, and our sisterhood community, is particularly inspiring for current pupils - a tangible example of what those before them have gone on to achieve and what they might, with your support, aspire to.
This upgrade to our mentoring programme has been made possible thanks to the safeguarding capability offered by our alumnae community platform Holles Connect, which has been developed by one of our own – techpreneur Kate Jillings, Class of 1998, and founder of the software programme ToucanTech, which powers our alumnae website.
In order to fulfil our safeguarding obligation to pupils, Sixth Form mentoring will be carried out exclusively online. All communications with current pupils will take place in writing via the Holles Connect messaging function. These conversations will be routinely monitored by our Careers Team.
If you haven't signed up to be a mentor previously please do so now. And if you have signed up in the past, you need to take action too, to update your preferences and opt-in to being a potential mentor for our Sixth Form pupils.
To sign up or find out more information, please visit our LEH Elevate page on Holles Connect:

We will be launching the re-vamped alumna-to-alumna part of the mentoring programme next term, so watch this space for more information. We are hoping to invite some of our alumnae who’ve had first-hand experience of mentoring to be guest speakers at a training/information session in the spring, so please contact us if you’d be interested in taking part by emailing alumnae@lehs.org.uk.
