Aims: This study investigates secondary school students’ perceptions of a school climate and school-based mentoring provided by teachers; it also examines the relationship between the school climate and peer aggression, and the moderating effect that teacher-led school mentoring could have on this relationship. Methodology: A total of 441 students between 12 and 17 years old (M = 13.99, SD = 1.33) were surveyed in Cantabria (Spain); the high schools were selected by means of a random sampling of two-stage clusters. Findings: The results demonstrated a direct negative relationship between a school climate and school-based mentoring with respect to peer aggression victimization. Likewise, mentoring showed a moderating effect on the relationship between a school climate and peer aggression victimization. Further implications: These findings highlight the importance of the school climate in preventing peer aggression and the central role that school-based mentoring plays in the relationship between a school climate and peer aggression victimization.}, organization = {The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: Research funded by the Vicerrectorado de Investigación y Transferencia de Conocimiento from the Universidad de Cantabria (Ref. 11.VU04.64662) and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (Ref. 2020-1-UK01-KA204-078843).}, publisher = {Canadian Association of School Psychologists}, publisher = {Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2022, 37(4), 328-343}, title = {School-based mentoring in secondary education: its effect on school climate and aggression among peers}, author = {Fernández Rouco, Noelia and Fernández Fuertes, Andrés Avelino and García Lastra, Marta and España Chico, Celia}, }
