| Abstract: | The article focuses on the Physics Mentoring Programme (PMP), a near-peer mentoring initiative in Wales aimed at enhancing secondary school physics education through collaborative partnerships. The PMP targets students aged 13-16, particularly encouraging female learners to pursue physics post-16 by pairing them with trained university mentors who facilitate engaging, confidence-building sessions. Contributions from various stakeholders, including mentors, teachers, and evaluators, highlight the importance of collaborative curriculum-making that reflects students' interests and career aspirations. The program has shown success in increasing students' intentions to continue studying physics and fostering a supportive educational environment, although challenges such as time constraints and funding remain.
