Together We Believe. Together We Achieve
Lunchtime Buddies
At Slater Primary School, we believe in creating a happy, inclusive, and supportive environment for all students. Our Lunchtime Buddies are essential in ensuring everyone feels welcome, included, and safe during break times.
Lunchtime Buddies are friendly, responsible students who help ensure that lunchtime is an enjoyable experience for everyone. Their key responsibilities include:
🍎 Helping younger students find a seat and settle in at lunchtime
😊 Encouraging kindness, good manners, and positive interactions
🎲 Organising games and activities to include everyone in play
👫 Supporting children who may feel lonely or need a friend
👀 Keeping an eye out for anyone who needs help and informing staff if necessary
Lunchtime Buddies are selected from Year 4 students who show:
✅ A caring and friendly attitude
✅ Good communication and teamwork skills
✅ A willingness to help others
✅ A positive role model for younger pupils
Students interested in becoming a Lunchtime Buddy can apply by speaking to their teacher. The Senior Leadership Team selects students based on their application and suitability for the role.
Our Lunchtime Buddies help create a warm, friendly school atmosphere where every child feels supported and included. Their kindness and leadership make a big difference in ensuring all students enjoy their break times.
