DD is year 6 and we have begun the rounds of secondary school open nights. The head of the school we visited last night was really promoting their Vertical Mentor Groups, which I'd never heard of before.
Do any of your DCs attend a school that have these too? What do you think and how do they find it, is it beneficial to them?
If you don't know (I didn't) vertical mentor groups are where instead of a form group of 30 year 7 kids the form groups are made up of a mixture from years 7 to 13 - from what I could gather last night the main idea being that they will support those in years below them and get advice from those in years above them.

Vertical Mentor Groups - is your child in one of these instead of a same year form group? What are your thoughts about it?
