Welcome to our Befrienders Page

What are Befrienders?

Befrienders is a perr support network which provides a service for any child who feels they need someone to talk to . The service is closely monitored and supported by adult Befrienders, Mrs Mott (ETA), Mrs Thomas (ICT ETA) and Mrs Collis (ETA and LTS) and Mrs Smith (Headteacher).

The Befrienders are volunteers from Years 5 and 6; they are well trained to deal with any problem which may be presented to them. This training includes guidance on when to maintain confidentiality and when a problem is serious enough to be passed over to an adult. The Brefrienders not only provide terrific support to other children in school, but also benefit enormously themselves. Being a Briender is a great responsibility which the children handle with maturity and respect.
