Year 7 Buddies are ready to welcome new students to school

Pictured above are some of our new Year 7 Buddies who are wearing their Buddy badges with pride.

Our buddies play a really important role in the school because it recognises the trust we have in our students as they play a key part in supporting our new Year 6 students during their transition to secondary school.

One of the first assignments will be supporting the Year 6 students on their Transition Day, which will be taking place on Friday 1st July 2022.

It is great for the new students to Giles Academy to have a familiar face for when they start in September as the buddies will be helping them to settle into lessons as well as offering friendly advice and support.
