On Friday 22 March a cohort of Year 8 students took part in Buddy Training led by Ms Anand and Sienna Griffiths (Head Student and Chairperson of the VI Form Mental Health Committee). The students completed applications putting themselves forward for this opportunity at the end of Year 7 and after a rigorous recruitment process, 27 Year 8's were selected to take on this responsibility.

Friday morning's training included looking at different types of bullying, what makes a good buddy and effective communication skills. The Buddies will start going into Year 7 tutor groups after Easter break.
