Year 6 Meet Their Reception Buddies

A valued and important tradition here at Crescent School is for the Year 6 children to buddy with a Reception child to support them through their first year at school.
It’s part of what makes Crescent such a nurturing environment where every child can flourish. The Year 6s help Reception settle into school, assisting them at lunchtime, modelling good manners, encouraging them in their play and generally being friendly, helpful and welcoming.
On Tuesday, our new Reception and Year 6 children met their buddies for the first time, and everyone enjoyed some bonding time.
Our buddy system is a positive experience for all involved, encouraging kindness and cooperation and providing strong foundations for a supportive and connected school community. It’s a rite of passage for our Year 6 pupils, an opportunity for them to give back to their school and we know they will all enjoy playing their part.
