The Playground Buddies

Our Playground Buddies play a very important role in making sure our playground is a happy and safe place for everyone. Every year, Y6 pupils are invited to apply for the position and if successful, are provided with training before they undertake their role. They then carry out their duties over break time each day and they wear bright green bibs so that other children know who they are. Our Playground Buddies help children find people to play with and games to play if they are by themselves; they help to solve playground disputes; and they provide fun activities for all children to join in with. As well as helping other children across the school, being a Playground Buddy is also an opportunity for them to develop leadership skills which will be useful in later life. We are very proud of our fantastic group of Playground Buddies for helping to make sure every child at Belmont CE Primary school is happy and safe.
