Our Y6 Buddies
Each Reception child is assigned a ‘Year 6 Buddy’.
We are very proud of our buddy system at All Saints’ which we have developed and refined over a number of years. Our system is used to help our new Year Reception children start school confidently and enthusiastically with a sense that someone is always there who will look after them. It is rooted in our school vision of love and care - to form strong, genuine relationships.
The Buddy System aims to enhance the learning in:
Positive role modelling
Taking responsibility
Being caring
Feeling valued
Security
Relationships
Increasing self-esteem and confidence
