I have been delighted by the response form Year 8 boys wishing to volunteer to be a Year 7 Buddy this year. Last year when Year 7 reviewed their first year at St James Senior Boys’, one of their suggestions was to support our new Year 7 as a ‘Buddy’. We currently have Sixth Form Buddies who have worked with the Lower School boys on charity events, sporting activities and Club sessions, but this new initiative kicked off today with our Buddies in Year 8 being introduced and working alongside Year 7 during Friday form time. A great start to the Lower School year and perfect in terms of our theme for the term of UNITY.

Check out the photos of the first session!
